Standard:QWH-J02-92
CAS number: 298-14-6
Formula: KHCO3
Appearance: colorless and transparent crystal
Relative density: 2.17
Solubility: soluble in water.
Product Feature : Potassium Bicarbonate is colorless and transparent crystal. The relative density is 2.17. It is stable in the air. It is soluble in water, forming a slightly alkaline solution, but insoluble in alcohol. The solution can not react with magnesium salt yielding precipitate of alkaline salt. It begins to decompose at 100C and completely decomposes and turns into Potassium Cabonate losing carbon dioxide and water at 120C.
Applications:Potassium Bicarbonate is used as a raw material producing potassium carbonate, potassium acetate and potassium arsenite. Also it is a fire-extinguishing agent for oil and chemicals. It is used in medicine and baking.
