K₁₉ potassium

• K for Kalium, the Latin word, derived from arabic Qali meaning plant ashes ie pot-ash
• It's an alkali metal in the first column of the periodic table like Fr₈₇ Francium
• It is lighter than water Density 0.89g/cc
• So it floats on water . . . but not for long
• Most people's diet is chronically short of potassium you need 3.5g/day intake
• Carbon dating is only good for about 50,000 years. For long time frames (the origin of Homo sapiens for example) you can use the fact that the radioactive isotope ⁴⁰K decays to ⁴⁰Argon with a half-life of 1.2 million years.
• K and its salts burn with a beautiful lilac flame ~760nm wavelength
• Those salts are very soluble in water. Concentration in seawater is 0.4g/L - about 1/10th the concentration of sodium.
• You are lugging between 100g - 150g of potassium about with you.
• Potatoes and pomegranates pack more potassium than bananas
