Description
Potassium acetate is a p.a. grade analytical reagent with a minimum purity of 99 %, intended for demanding laboratory and quality-control use. It is registered under CAS number 127-08-2 and EG number 204-822-2, with the empirical formula K(CH₃COO), a molar mass of 98,15 g/mol, a density of 1,57 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 392,4 °C. Typical applications include buffer preparation, precipitation and desalting steps, ion-source or electrolyte formulations, and general inorganic and organic synthesis where a clean potassium carboxylate is required. The product is Identity, purity and physical data correspond to the manufacturer description from Carl ROTH, giving users a transparent basis for method validation and reagent qualification. High assay potassium acetate dissolves readily in water and supports reproducible ionic strength and pH control in aqueous systems without introducing unnecessary contaminants.

Questions about Potassium acetate, min. 99 %, p.a., 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Potassium acetate, min. 99 %, p.a., 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
