99.5% Potassium Carbonate (CAS 584-08-7)
Product Overview
Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) is an inorganic compound appearing as white crystalline powder with a density of 2.428g/cm³. It has a melting point of 891°C, decomposes at boiling point, and a molecular weight of 138.21. Highly soluble in water (forming alkaline solutions), it is insoluble in ethanol, acetone, and ether. This hygroscopic material absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture from air, converting to potassium bicarbonate, requiring sealed packaging. Available in monohydrate, dihydrate, and trihydrate forms. Pricing varies by industry application and quantity required.
