Potassium Hydroxide or Caustic Potash Pellets
CAS Number: 1310-58-3
Molecular Formula: KOH
Molecular Weight: 56.11
Potassium Hydroxide or Caustic Potash Pellets
Potassium Hydroxide USP NF Grade Specifications
KOH --- 56.11 --- CAS 1310-58-3
Potassium Hydroxide contains not less than 85.0 percent of total alkali, calculated as KOH, including not more than 3.5 percent of K2CO3.
Identification: A solution (1 in 25) responds to the tests for Potassium.
Insoluble substances: Dissolve 1 g in 20 mL of water: the solution is complete, clear, and colorless.
Heavy metals: Dissolve 0.67 g in a mixture of 5 mL of water and 7 mL of 3 N hydrochloric acid. Heat to boiling, cool, and dilute with water to 25 mL: the limit is 0.003%.

Caustic Potash
KOH Formula weight 56.11
INS: 525 CAS 1310-58-3
DESCRIPTION
Potassium Hydroxide occurs as white or nearly white pellets, flakes, sticks, fused masses, or other forms. Upon exposure to air, it readily absorbs carbon dioxide and moisture, and it deliquesces. One gram dissolves in 1 mL of water, in about 3 mL of alcohol, and in about 2.5 mL of glycerin. It is very soluble in boiling alcohol.
Function: pH control.
REQUIREMENTS
Identification: A 1:25 aqueous solution gives positive tests for Potassium.
Assay: Not less than 85.0% and not more than 100.5% of total alkali, calculated as KOH.
Carbonate (as K2CO3): Not more than 3.5%.
Insoluble Substances: Passes test.
Lead: Not more than 2 mg/kg.
Mercury: Not more than 0.1 mg/kg.
