Potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate

Description:

Potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate, also known as potassium bitartrate or cream of tartar, is a white crystalline substance with the chemical formula KHC4H4O6·0.5H2O. It is a potassium salt of tartaric acid and is commonly found in wine and as a byproduct of winemaking. This compound is characterized by its ability to act as a stabilizing agent in food products, particularly in the preparation of whipped egg whites and as a leavening agent in baking when combined with baking soda. It is soluble in water, forming a slightly acidic solution, and is known for its mild tart flavor. In addition to its culinary uses, potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate has applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. It is also utilized in analytical chemistry as a reagent. The hemihydrate form indicates that it contains half a molecule of water for each molecule of potassium tartrate, which can influence its solubility and stability in various conditions.

Potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate

CAS: 6100-19-2

Potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate is a substance that can be found in nature. It is the salt of tartaric acid and potassium, with the chemical formula K2C4H4O6. This compound exists as a mixture of two phases, one being aqueous and the other being organic. The equilibrium between these two phases depends on the concentration of tartrates and glycols in the solution. The solubility of potassium tartrate dibasic hemihydrate is dependent on its molecular weight, although it is also influenced by temperature, pH and concentration. Experimental studies have shown that this substance has biphasic properties.
