Potassium chloride

Description:
Potassium chloride (KCl) is an inorganic salt commonly used in various applications, including as a potassium supplement in fertilizers and in medical treatments. It appears as a white crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water, dissociating into potassium (K⁺) and chloride (Cl⁻) ions. KCl has a high melting point and is stable under normal conditions, making it suitable for various industrial processes. It is hygroscopic, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air, which can affect its handling and storage. In terms of safety, potassium chloride is generally recognized as safe when used appropriately, but excessive intake can lead to hyperkalemia, a condition characterized by elevated potassium levels in the blood. KCl is also used in food processing as a salt substitute and in the preparation of certain chemical compounds. Its properties, such as ionic conductivity and solubility, make it valuable in both laboratory and industrial settings.
