CAS NO: 7447-40-7

MOLECULAR FORMULA: KCl

MOLECULAR WEIGHT: 74.55

  Alternate Names:  Potassium Chloride is also known as KCl.
  Application:  Potassium Chloride is a common laboratory reagent and   calibration standard for measuring electrical conducivity.
  Purity:  >99%
  Description:  Potassium Chloride is commonly used as a laboratory reagent   as  a standard. Potassium Chloride may be used as a calibration   standard ionic solution for measuring electrical conductivity   because Potassium Chloride solutions, when prepared   carefully,  produce repeatable measurable properties.   Potassium  Chloride is also a good source of ionic chloride,   which should precipitate insoluble chloride salts upon addition   to a solution of an appropriate metal ion. Oral Potassium   Chloride is commonly used to replenish vital potassium in the   body, and has also been shown to lower blood pressure.   Potassium Chloride is commonly used in fertilizer.
  Physical State :  Solid
  Solubility :  Soluble in water (340 mg/ml at 20° C), alcohol (slightly), and   ethanol (1 g/250 mL). Insoluble in ether, and acetone.
  Storage :  Store at room temperature
  Melting Point :  770° C (lit.)
  Boiling Point :  1500° C (lit.)
  Density :  1.98 g/cm3 at 25° C (lit.)
  Refractive Index :  n20D 1.49
  Ki Data :  CA IV: Ki= 90 µM (human); CA I: Ki= 6 mM (human); CA IX:   Ki= 33 mM (human); CA V: Ki= 156 mM (human); CA II:   Ki>200 mM (human)
