Potassium Nitrate or saltpeter is a colorless crystalline solid, soluble in water, which decomposes to give off oxygen when heated to 400 degrees Celsius. It made from sodium nitrate and potassium chloride by fractional crystallization, and is used in gun powder, matches, fireworks, some rocket ruels and as a fertilizer.
