Description

Potassium bicarbonate is a chemical compound that is used as a buffer in a variety of applications. It is commonly used to maintain the pH of laboratory solutions and can be found in many home products such as baking powder, fire extinguishers, and antacids. Potassium bicarbonate has been shown to bind to metal ions, such as hydrogen fluoride and metal chelates, which may be responsible for its ability to inhibit cox-2 activity. Potassium bicarbonate also has high water permeability properties. This property makes it useful in blood sampling, where it causes the red blood cells to swell up and burst so they can be removed by centrifugation. Potassium bicarbonate also has hydrogen bonding interactions with water molecules (H2O).
