Product Overview
Acetic acid potassium salt (potassium acetate) is a high-purity, 99%+ analysis-grade chemical compound designed for precision laboratory applications. This crystalline powder offers exceptional solubility in water, making it ideal for preparing buffer solutions, conducting titrations, and facilitating chemical reactions where pH control is critical. Its low moisture content and minimal impurities ensure consistent results in quantitative analysis, while its stable nature allows for long-term storage without degradation. The compound’s high purity eliminates interference in sensitive experiments, making it a preferred choice for researchers requiring reliable reagents. Whether used in volumetric analysis or as a reagent in organic synthesis, this potassium acetate delivers reproducible performance. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent contamination and moisture absorption, preserving its integrity until use. Its versatility extends to applications in electrochemistry, where it serves as an electrolyte, and in biochemical assays requiring precise ionic strength adjustments.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of this potassium acetate in water?
It is highly soluble in water, with approximately 250 g dissolving per 100 mL at room temperature, forming a clear solution.
2. Can this be used as a substitute for sodium acetate in buffer solutions?
Yes, it can replace sodium acetate in most buffer applications, though the resulting pH may vary slightly due to differences in ionic strength.
3. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?
Store in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight, to prevent clumping or degradation.
4. Is this potassium acetate suitable for food-grade applications?
No, this is an analysis-grade chemical intended strictly for laboratory use and is not certified for food or pharmaceutical applications.
5. What impurities are typically present in this 99%+ grade?
Trace impurities may include residual acetic acid, moisture, and minor inorganic salts, all below 1% combined concentration.
