Molecular formula: KHCO3
Molecular weight: 100.11
CAS No.: 298-14-6
Property:Potassium Bicarbonate is colorless and transparent crystal. The relative density is 2.17. It is stable in the air. It is soluble in water, forming a slightly alkaline solution, but insoluble in alcohol. The solution can not react with magnesium salt yielding precipitate of alkaline salt. It begins to decompose at100°Cand completely decomposes and turns into Potassium Carbonate losing carbon dioxide and water at200°C.
Usage:
Potassium Bicarbonate is used as a raw materialto producepotassium carbonate, potassium acetate and potassium arsenite.It isalso used as a fire-extinguishing agent for oil and chemicals. It is used in medicine and baking powder.
Packing:Net in 25KG/50KG/500KG/1000KG Plastic Woven Bag.
