Potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol

Potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol is an ethanolic potassium hydroxide reagent designated Reag. Ph. Eur., Chapter 4.1.1, 1070303. 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. Supplied in a 100 ml pack, the solution has a density of approximately 0,8 g/cm³, a flash point of 16 °C and a boiling point of 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 potassium hydroxide solution in ethanol is required according to the stated Ph. Eur. reference. Physical constants and the UN number 2924 complete the identity of the preparation for handling and documentation. The ethanol solvent system and pharmacopoeial designation make the product suitable for standardized wet-chemical procedures that specify this ethanolic potassium hydroxide reagent. The 100 ml pack is intended for laboratory reagent use where a smaller volume of the Ph. Eur. preparation is required.
