Potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol 0,5 M

Potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol 0,5 M is an ethanolic potassium hydroxide reagent at 0,5 M, designated Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1070302. The alkali is potassium hydroxide, CAS number 1310-58-3, empirical formula KOH, EG nr. 215-181-3, with a molar mass of 56,11 g/mol. Offered in a 1 liter pack, the solution has a density of approximately 1 g/cm³, a flash point greater than 47 °C and a boiling point greater than 78 °C. This Chapter 4.1.1 reagent from manufacturer Carl ROTH is listed among chemicals in pharmacopoeia quality and among reagents and volumetric standard solutions of the European Pharmacopoeia. It is selected in analytical laboratories when a 0,5 M potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol is required according to the stated Ph. Eur. reference. Physical constants and the UN number 2920 complete the identity of the preparation for handling and documentation. The combination of defined molarity, ethanol as solvent and pharmacopoeial designation makes the product suitable for standardized wet-chemical procedures that specify this ethanolic potassium hydroxide reagent.
