Tag: Potassium compounds

According to studies on synthetic cannabinoids marketed as 'K2' or 'Spice,' heating these compounds above 400°C causes them to degrade, releasing potentially toxic byproducts, including cyanide. The question, 'Is K2 heat sensitive?' is complex because 'K2' can refer to vastly different substances, each with unique thermal properties.

Elemental potassium is so reactive it can spontaneously ignite in moist air, but the popular concept of a "potassium bomb" is often misunderstood. This term actually refers to the extreme danger of mishandling pure potassium metal or using its compounds improperly, rather than a specific weapon.
