Potassium bicarbonate (CAS 298-14-6)
QUICK LINKS
Potassium bicarbonate (KHCO3) is a versatile chemical compound extensively used in environmental science, agriculture, and materials science due to its mild alkaline properties. It serves as an effective pH neutralizer in laboratory settings, crucial for maintaining specific conditions in chemical reactions. In agriculture, potassium bicarbonate functions as an eco-friendly fungicide, supporting sustainable farming practices by controlling fungal growth on crops without the adverse effects associated with harsher chemicals. Additionally, in materials science, it is instrumental in fire suppression technologies, where it releases carbon dioxide when heated to help smother flames. This compound is also vital in biochemical research for preparing buffer solutions that stabilize pH, ensuring the integrity of biological samples during enzyme and other sensitive molecular studies. Through these diverse applications, potassium bicarbonate proves essential in both practical implementations and scientific inquiry, facilitating advancements across multiple disciplines.
