Potassium chloride Chemical Properties,Usage,Production |
Chemical Properties
white crystals or powder |
|
Usage
May be used for the preparation of phosphate buffered saline, and for the extraction and solubilization of proteins. |
|
General Description
White colorless cubic crystals. Strong saline taste. |
|
Air & Water Reactions
Hygroscopic. Water soluble. |
|
Reactivity Profile
Potassium chloride is not in general strongly reactive. Violent reaction with BrF3 and with a mixture of sulfuric acid potassium permanganate mixture . Reacts with concentrated sulfuric acid to generate fumes of hydrogen chloride. |
|
Health Hazard
SYMPTOMS: Large doses of Potassium chloride usually induce vomiting, so acute intoxication by mouth is rare. If no pre-existing kidney damage, it is rapidly excreted. Poisoning disturbs the rhythm of heart. Large doses by mouth can cause gastrointestinal irritation, purging, weakness, and circulatory disturbances. |
|
Fire Hazard
Flammability data is not available, but Potassium chloride is probably nonflammable. |
