CAS 1310-58-3

Potassium hydroxide, (K(OH))

Description:

Potassium hydroxide (KOH), also known as caustic potash, is a strong alkaline compound characterized by its white, solid form, which is highly soluble in water, resulting in an exothermic reaction. It is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, and it readily dissociates in aqueous solutions to release potassium ions (K⁺) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). KOH is commonly used in various applications, including as a strong base in chemical manufacturing, in the production of biodiesel, and as a pH regulator in various industrial processes. It is also utilized in the food industry as a food additive and in the production of soaps and detergents. Due to its caustic nature, potassium hydroxide can cause severe chemical burns upon contact with skin or mucous membranes, necessitating careful handling and appropriate safety measures. Its CAS number, 1310-58-3, is used for identification in chemical databases and regulatory frameworks.
