Beschreibung
Potassium iodide solution, saturated is a pharmacopoeia-quality laboratory reagent corresponding to Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1070504. It is based on potassium iodide, empirical formula KI, with a molar mass of 166,00 g/mol. The saturated solution is intended for analytical work that requires this defined European Pharmacopoeia reagent rather than an unspecified potassium iodide preparation. Density is approximately 1 g/cm³ and the boiling point is about 100 °C, consistent with an aqueous iodide preparation. A 100 ml pack suits pharmaceutical quality-control and research laboratories working from Ph. Eur. reagent lists. Physical data from manufacturer Carl ROTH specify molar mass 166,00 g/mol, density ~1 g/cm³ and boiling point ~100 °C. Within the Reagents 4.1.1 series, this saturated potassium iodide solution is selected where the pharmacopoeia stipulates that reagent for identity, purity or related procedures. It is grouped with chemicals in pharmacopoeia quality and with reagents and volumetric standard solutions of the European Pharmacopoeia. Use the 100 ml unit according to the relevant Ph. Eur. chapter and validated in-house methods.
