Understanding K2SO4: Key Properties of Potassium Sulfate for Chemical Buyers
Potassium Sulfate presents itself as a white crystalline solid, a physical attribute that is consistent and easily identifiable. Its molecular formula, K2SO4, and molecular weight of approximately 174.26 g/mol are critical data points for formulators and process engineers. The compound boasts a high boiling point of 1689 °C, indicating its thermal stability, which is an important consideration in many manufacturing processes. While its solubility varies, it is known to be slightly soluble in glycerol and insoluble in acetone and alcohol, guiding its use in different solvent systems.
These properties make K2SO4 particularly valuable in specific applications. For instance, its role in photoresist formulations relies on its chemical behavior and purity. Similarly, its function as a fertilizer leverages its potassium and sulfur content. Understanding these K2SO4 chemical properties allows buyers to correctly assess its suitability for their intended use, whether it's for advanced electronics or agricultural nutrient management.
