Overview of Potassium Acetate
Potassium Acetate (CH3COOK) is a white powder that is a Granular solid used extensively for de-icing as well as the preservation of food, pharmaceuticals, and chemical synthesis. It's admired for its low environmental impact in addition to its buffering power and biodegradability. This makes it ideal for environmental and industrial uses.
The chemical formula for potassium acetate is CH3COOK. Its structure is comprised of an anion from acetate bonded to a potassium cation, giving it excellent solubility and buffering properties. Potassium Acetate is employed as a de-icer food additive and pH-regulating agent in many industrial formulations.
