Help With Isolating Potassium
«

I have acquired KOH chips and I have been trying to isolate the potassium through electrolysis. Once I melted the KOH and started the process, the liquid started to turn blue. Was that potassium forming?
Thanks

Try switching your electrodes.
KOH flakes? That's an expensive way to do it, much cheaper to use pellets I would imagine.

2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3.
