Which of the following is Indian saltpetre?
- A \(\mathrm{NaNO}_3\)
- B \(\mathrm{KNO}_3\)
- C \(\mathrm{CsNO}_3\)
- D \(\mathrm{Mg}\left(\mathrm{NO}_3\right)_2\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(\mathrm{KNO}_3\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Potassium nitrate \(\left(\mathrm{KNO}_3\right)\) is called as Indian saltpetre. This is because it is one of the nitrogen containing compound and is very important as a crude salt in India. It is also called niter.
