Potassium Bicarbonate
Potassium Bicarbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO₃. Also known as Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate or Potassium Hydrogencarbonate, it is a white crystalline powder commonly used in laboratory analysis, buffer preparation, chemical formulation, analytical testing, and scientific research involving bicarbonate compounds. It is particularly useful as a buffering agent and source of potassium and bicarbonate ions in aqueous solutions.
Product Specifications
Potassium Bicarbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KHCO₃ and CAS Number 298-14-6. It is also known as Potassium Hydrogen Carbonate, Potassium Hydrogencarbonate, or Potassium Acid Carbonate. It has a molecular weight of approximately 100.12 g/mol and is commonly supplied as a white crystalline powder or granules. It is readily soluble in water and produces a mildly alkaline solution.
Potassium Bicarbonate is valued for its buffering properties and versatility in laboratory and chemical applications. Common laboratory applications include preparation of buffer solutions, pH regulation, acid-base reactions, analytical chemistry procedures, and research involving bicarbonate compounds. It is also used in various industrial applications, food-related formulations, agricultural products, and chemical processing.
Its water solubility and chemical properties make Potassium Bicarbonate useful in analytical chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and general laboratory research. The appropriate grade and purity should be selected according to the requirements of the intended application, particularly for laboratory, food-related, or industrial use.
KSFE Malaysia supplies laboratory chemicals and scientific products for research institutions, educational facilities, and general laboratory applications.
Safety Note: Potassium Bicarbonate is generally considered to have low toxicity under normal laboratory handling conditions. However, dust may cause mild irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Avoid unnecessary inhalation of dust and direct contact with the eyes and skin. Wear suitable personal protective equipment, including safety glasses, protective gloves, and appropriate laboratory clothing. Handle in a well-ventilated area and minimise dust generation during handling. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, protected from moisture and incompatible substances. Follow the supplier's Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for proper handling, storage, and disposal.
