Product Description
When precision matters in your lab experiments, the right reagents make all the difference. This 1M potassium hydroxide solution (1N) from CDH is a staple in analytical chemistry, offering consistent results for titration, pH standardization, and other critical applications. Whether you’re a student setting up your first lab or a researcher refining your methodology, this lab-grade KOH solution ensures accuracy without compromise.
Potassium hydroxide is a strong base, and this pre-diluted 1 molar solution eliminates the hassle of manual preparation. The 500ml pack size is perfect for small-scale experiments, reducing waste while providing enough volume for multiple tests. Unlike solid KOH pellets, this ready-to-use solution minimizes handling risks and ensures uniform concentration across batches.
Why settle for less when your experiments demand reliability? With eqipped, you get authentic CDH products delivered to your doorstep, so you can focus on your work without worrying about sourcing quality chemicals.
Key Applications
This 1N KOH solution is versatile and widely used in:
- Acid-base titration experiments in educational and research labs
- pH adjustment in buffer solutions and chemical reactions
- Saponification processes in organic chemistry
- Cleaning glassware and lab equipment (when diluted further)
Safety and Handling
Potassium hydroxide is highly corrosive and requires careful handling. Always wear appropriate PPE, including gloves and goggles, when using this solution. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of fumes. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Store in a cool, dry place away from acids and incompatible materials. Keep the container tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination or absorption of atmospheric CO₂, which can alter the concentration over time.
Why This Solution Stands Out
Not all KOH solutions are created equal. This CDH product is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure:
- Precise 1M concentration for accurate results
- Low impurity levels, critical for sensitive experiments
- Stable shelf life when stored properly
- Clear labeling for easy identification in your lab

FAQs
What is the difference between 1M and 1N potassium hydroxide solution?
For KOH, 1M (molar) and 1N (normal) are equivalent because it’s a monobasic compound. This solution is labeled as both for clarity in different experimental contexts.
Can I use this KOH solution for soap-making?
While technically possible, this lab-grade solution is optimized for analytical use. For soap-making, food-grade or industrial-grade KOH is more suitable and cost-effective.
How should I dispose of leftover KOH solution?
Neutralize with a weak acid like acetic acid before disposal. Follow your institution’s chemical waste guidelines—never pour concentrated KOH down the drain.
Is this solution suitable for pH meter calibration?
Yes, but for calibration, you may need additional standard buffers. This 1M KOH can be diluted to prepare pH 13 or 14 standards if required.
Can I buy smaller quantities for one-time experiments?
Currently, this product is available in a 500ml pack. For smaller needs, consider splitting with lab partners or storing the solution properly for future use.
