kaliumbisulfaatin

Kaliumbisulfaatti, also known as potassium bisulfate or potassium hydrogen sulfate, is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula KHSO4. It is the potassium acid salt of sulfuric acid. Kaliumbisulfaatti is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is a weak acid.

In its pure form, kaliumbisulfaatti is a colorless or white crystalline solid. It has a molecular weight of approximately 136.17 grams per mole. When dissolved in water, it forms an acidic solution due to the dissociation of the hydrogen ion. This acidity makes it useful in various applications.

Kaliumbisulfaatti is produced by the reaction of sulfuric acid with potassium chloride or potassium carbonate. It can also be formed as an intermediate product in the manufacture of potassium sulfate. Its uses include acting as a cleaning agent, particularly for removing mineral deposits and rust, and as a pH adjuster in various industrial processes. It is also used in some food applications as an acidifier, although its use is less common than other acid salts. In laboratory settings, it is employed as a mild acidic reagent.
