What would one consume to replenish electrolytes for the human body besides sports drinks?

I’ve read that sodium and potassium are examples of electrolytes. Recalling my high-school and college chemistry I can see why sodium would be an electrolyte since it helps conduct an electric current, but I never heard that about potassium. So besides eating bananas and salty foods I was wondering what other “natural” sources of food and/or liquid provides the body with what would be considered electrolytes. (Yes, I’m prepping for a long distance event, incase you were wondering. ;-)
PLEASE NOTE, I’m looking for “natural” (vs. man-made) foods and/or liquids.

chemistry?!?

9. The sulfur compound used to preserve food is

H2S
SO2
SO3
H2SO4

10. The chemist finds H2S useful in

preparing sulfuric acid
testing for metals
bleaching
refining petroleum

Chemistry help please! 10 pts best answer!?

1: The Frasch process is used to mine
lead
potassium
sulfur
uranium

2: The most striking physical characteristic of hydrogen sulfide is its
color
density
odor
solubility in water

3: The formula for hydrosulfuric acid is
H2S
H2SO2
H2SO3
H2SO4

4: If the volume of sulfuric acid in an uncovered beaker increased gradually during a perios of several weeks, the increase was probably due to the absorption of
carbon dioxide
nitrogen
oxygen
water

5: The most stable form of sulfur at room temperatre is
amorphous
monoclinic
prismatic
rhombic

6: Sulfuric acid is used in the preparation of other acids because it
is an oxidizing agent
is dense
has a high boiling point
is a dehydrating agent

7: The acid contained in storage batteries is
acetic
hydrochloric
nitric
sulfuric

8: Hydrogen sulfide forms a white precipitate when passes into a solution of
Cd(NO3)2
Pb(NO3)2
CuCl2
ZnSO4

9: A sulfur compound that will readily dissolve sulfur is
H2SO4
SO2
CS2
H2S

10: SUperheated water heated to 167oC is used in the Frasch process to
clean the pipes
clean the sulfur
dissolve the sulfur
melt the sulfur

11: A catalytic agent used in the contact process for the manufacture of H2SO4 is
Ni
MnO2
Pt
ZnO

12: When sulfur reacts with oxygen, heat is
neither liberated nor absorbed
absorbed
liberated
sometimes liberated and sometimes absorbed

13: A sulfur compound used as a refrigerant is
hydrogen sulfide
sulfuric acid
sulfur dioxide
sulfur trioxide

14: The sulfur compound used to preserve food is
H2S
SO2
SO3
H2SO4

15: The chemist finds H2S useful in
preparing sulfuric acid
testing for metals
bleaching
refining petroleum

16: Sulfur and oxygen both have six electrons in their outer orbits. One of the valences for sulfur is therefore
-4
-1
-2
2

17: Rhombic sulfur may be prepared by
slow cooling of melted sulfur
rapid cooling of boiling sulfur
evaporation from a sulfur solution in carbon disulfide
sublimation

18: Sulfur dioxide is used in commercial refrigerators because the gas
is easily liquified
dissolves in water
is cold
decolorizes KMnO4

I really need a good grade in this class, so if you aren’t sure, please don’t say anything. Thank you in advance. :)

can kitty litter preserve food?

hey im doing my chemistry science fair project and am wondering if kitty litter can preserve food since it has the same mineral in it called Zeolite (the same thing in the Debbie Meyer Green Bags).
can you please put a sorce for what you say. Thanks =)
no i mean like you can put it in a bag of some sort just to absorb the ethylene gas! not to eat lol
gir im not talking about putting it in food jeebuz!!!
