FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Tripotassium citrate monohydrate in water?
Tripotassium citrate monohydrate is highly soluble in water, typically dissolving at approximately 180 g per 100 ml at room temperature, forming a clear, colorless solution.
2. How should this chemical be stored to maintain its stability?
Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container properly closed when not in use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
3. Is this product compatible with common laboratory glassware?
Yes, Tripotassium citrate monohydrate LR is compatible with standard borosilicate glassware and most plastic laboratory containers, though prolonged contact with metals should be avoided.
4. What alternatives exist for buffering applications if this product is unavailable?
Potassium phosphate monobasic or sodium citrate could serve as alternatives for buffering applications, though the pH range and buffering capacity may differ from Tripotassium citrate.
5. Does this product require any special handling precautions during use?
While generally safe for laboratory use, standard precautions should be followed including wearing appropriate personal protective equipment and working in a well-ventilated area to avoid inhalation of fine particles.
