Chemical Name: Potassium Hydrogen Sulphate (Potassium Bisulfate)

Chemical Formula: KHSO₄
CAS Number: 7646-93-7

Description:

Potassium hydrogen sulphate, also known as potassium bisulfate, is a white crystalline powder that is soluble in water. It is commonly used as a laboratory reagent and in various industrial applications. The compound is acidic and can release hydrogen ions in solution, making it useful in pH adjustment and as a flux in metallurgy.

Uses:

1. Laboratory Reagent: Potassium bisulfate is frequently used in chemical analysis and research.
2. pH Adjuster: It is used to lower pH in various industrial processes.
3. Metallurgy: Employed as a flux in the preparation of metal ores and in the production of some metals.
4. Food Industry: Occasionally used as a food additive, particularly as a leavening agent in baking.
5. Cleaning Agent: Can be used in cleaning formulations for its acidic properties.

Safety Information:

• Hazards: Potassium hydrogen sulphate is corrosive and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.
• Handling: Appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves and goggles, should be worn when handling this compound.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials like strong bases.

Potassium hydrogen sulphate is a versatile compound with multiple industrial and laboratory applications, but it must be handled with care due to its corrosive nature.

Potassium sulfate, also known as sulfate of potash (SOP), is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula K₂SO₄. It is a white, crystalline solid, odorless, and readily soluble in water. It is a potassium salt, and naturally occurs in salt lakes and volcanic lava. It's widely used as a fertilizer due to its potassium and sulfur content, and also has applications in glass and ceramic manufacturing, as well as in pyrotechnics.
