		carbonate of potash, salts of tartar, or pearlash
		Potash production provided late 18th and early 19th century settlers in North America a way to obtain badly needed cash and credit while they were in the process of clearing their wooded land for crops.
		If desired, the potash could be further refined by baking in a kiln to produce a less impure form of potassium carbonate, known as pearlash for its pearly white color.

		The term potash originally designated potassium carbonate, obtained by leaching wood ashes, but is now applied in general to a number of potassium compounds.
		Potassium chloride (KCl), a white crystalline compound commonly called chloride of potash or muriate of potash, is a common constituent of potassium salt minerals, from which it is obtained by volatilization.
		Potassium hydroxide (KOH), called caustic potash, a white solid that is dissolved by the moisture in the air, is prepared by the electrolysis of potassium chloride or by the reaction of potassium carbonate and calcium hydroxide; it is used in the manufacture of soap and is an important chemical reagent.

		The alteration of the military flintlock to the percussion musket was easily accomplished by replacing the powder pan with a perforated nipple, and by replacing the cock or hammer which held the flint by a smaller hammer formed with a hollow made to fit around the nipple when released by the trigger.
		On the nipple was placed the copper cap containing the detonating composition, now made of three parts of chlorate of potash, two of fulminate of mercury and one of powdered glass.

		CHLORATE [chlorate] and perchlorate, salts of chloric acid, HClO
		Commercially, a chlorate is derived when a hot aqueous metal chloride solution is decomposed by electrolysis, forming chlorine gas at the anode and metal hydroxide at the cathode (with evolution of hydrogen); the chlorine reacts with the hydroxide to form the hypochlorite, which decomposes to form the chlorate.
		Potassium chlorate is a colorless crystalline substance that melts at 356°C and decomposes violently at about 400°C. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and is used in making explosives and matches; a mixture of potassium chlorate with phosphorus, sulfur, or any of numerous organic compounds (e.g., charcoal or sugar) explodes upon friction or percussion.

		This device, however, did not come into extensive use owing to its danger and inconvenience and to the cost of the phosphorus, and till the beginning of the 19th century flint and steel with tinder-box and sulphur-tipped splints of wood—" spunks " or matches—were the common means of obtaining fire for domestic and other purposes.
		The matches so pre-pared, when brought into contact with the sulphuric acid in the bottle, ignited, and this, by chemical action, fire was produced.

		Potash (or carbonate of potash) is an impure form of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) mixed with other potassium salts.
		The term has become somewhat ambiguous due to the substitution in fertilizers of cheaper potassium salts such as potassium chloride (KCl) or potassium oxide (K2O), to which the same common name is now sometimes also applied.
		In 1790 an ashes could be sold for $3.25 to $6.25 per acre ($800 to $1500/km²) in rural New York State, nearly the going rate for hiring a laborer to clear that same area.

		Heurtner also brought out vesuvians, consisting of a cartridge containing chlorate of potash and sugar, and a glass bead full of sulphuric acid.
		His splints were first dipped in sulphur and then tipped with the chlorate of potash paste, in which gun was substituted for sugar, and there was added a small quantity of sulphide of antimony.
		The match was ignited by being drawn through a fold of sand paper, with pressure; but it often happened that the tipped part was torn off without igniting, or, if ignited, it sometimes scattered balls of fire about, burning the carpet and even igniting a lady's dress.
