Description
Potassium hydroxide solution, 15 %, pure, is an aqueous alkali preparation for general laboratory use. Based on potassium hydroxide (empirical formula KOH) with CAS number 1310-58-3 and EG number 215-181-3, it offers a defined 15 % concentration at pure grade. The solution has a molar mass of 56,11 g/mol for the solute, a density of 1,134 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 100 °C, and is assigned UN number 1814. It is supplied in a 1 l plastic bottle, suitable for routine pH adjustment, saponification support, cleaning baths and other alkaline process steps in analytical and preparative work. This potassium hydroxide solution from manufacturer Carl ROTH gives laboratories a ready-diluted alkali that reduces on-site handling of solid KOH while maintaining a clear concentration specification. The plastic pack supports safe storage and dispensing at the bench or in central media preparation. Always use appropriate personal protective equipment and follow institutional procedures for corrosive alkaline liquids.

Questions about Potassium hydroxide solution , 15 %, pure, 1 l, plastic
What is this article?
Potassium hydroxide solution , 15 %, pure, 1 l, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Bases & alkalis, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
A base or an alkali is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, ammonia and their relatives, as solid or as solution. The carbonate that a hydroxide picks up from the air changes a titre. Concentration and purity are the specification. Concentrated alkalis attack skin and aluminium.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Acids & bases. The sub-category is Bases & alkalis. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
