Description
Potassium hydroxide, commonly known as caustic potash, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula KOH. It is a strong base and is highly soluble in water, forming a strongly alkaline solution. This compound is a white solid that is deliquescent, meaning it can absorb moisture from the air. It is widely used in various industrial and chemical processes due to its caustic nature and reactivity towards acids.
Application
Chemistry:Used as a strong base in various chemical reactions and titrations. It is also used in the preparation of other potassium compounds.
Biology:Employed in the preparation of biological samples for microscopic examination, particularly for detecting fungal elements.
Medicine:Used in the preparation of pharmaceutical products and as a diagnostic tool for fungal infections.
Industry:Utilized in the production of biodiesel, as an electrolyte in alkaline batteries, and in the manufacture of soaps and detergents.
