Overview of Potassium Oxalate
Potassium Oxalate is an important inorganic potassium salt of oxalic acid widely used in laboratories, metallurgy, textiles, photography, and industrial chemical processing. Chemically, the potassium oxalate formula is K₂C₂O₄, formed by the neutralisation of oxalic acid with potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate. It is commonly supplied in crystalline or powder form for controlled industrial use.
From a chemical standpoint, the potassium oxalate structure consists of two potassium ions bonded ionically to the oxalate anion. It appears as a white crystalline or granular powder and is readily soluble in water. Due to its chelating ability and reactivity with metal ions, Potassium Oxalate plays a key role in analytical and industrial applications.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity Potassium Oxalate suitable for laboratory, textile, and industrial chemical applications, ensuring consistent quality and reliable performance.
