The following chart shows the solubility of various ionic compounds in water at 1 atm pressure and room temperature (approx. 25 °C, 298.15 K). "Soluble" means the ionic compound doesn't precipitate, while "slightly soluble" and "insoluble" mean that a solid will precipitate; "slightly soluble" compounds like calcium sulfate may require heat to precipitate.
The tables below provides information on the variation of solubility of different substances (mostly inorganic compounds) in water with temperature, at one atmosphere pressure. Units of solubility are given in grams of substance per 100 millilitres of water (g/100 ml), unless shown otherwise.
About 112 g of KOH dissolve in 100 mL water at room temperature, which contrasts with 100 g/100 mL for NaOH. [14] Thus on a molar basis, KOH is slightly more soluble than NaOH. Lower molecular-weight alcohols such as methanol , ethanol , and propanols are also excellent solvents .
Note that the especially high molar values, as for paraffin, gasoline, water and ammonia, result from calculating specific heats in terms of moles of molecules. If specific heat is expressed per mole of atoms for these substances, none of the constant-volume values exceed, to any large extent, the theoretical Dulong–Petit limit of 25 J⋅mol ...
Where HV is the hydroxyl value; V B is the amount (ml) potassium hydroxide solution required for the titration of the blank; V acet is the amount (ml) of potassium hydroxide solution required for the titration of the acetylated sample; W acet is the weight of the sample (in grams) used for acetylation; N is the normality of the titrant; 56.1 is ...
Theoretically, 1 kg of KO 2 absorbs 0.310 kg of CO 2 while releasing 0.338 kg of O 2. One mole of KO 2 absorbs 0.5 moles of CO 2 and releases 0.75 moles of oxygen. Potassium superoxide finds only niche uses as a laboratory reagent. Because it reacts with water, KO 2 is often studied in organic solvents.
The word lye most accurately refers to sodium hydroxide (NaOH), [citation needed] but historically has been conflated to include other alkali materials, most notably potassium hydroxide (KOH). In order to distinguish between the two, sodium hydroxide may be referred to as soda lye while potassium hydroxide may be referred to as potash lye.
Sulfide is highly basic, consequently K 2 S completely and irreversibly hydrolyzes in water according to the following equation: K 2 S + H 2 O → KOH + KSH. For many purposes, this reaction is inconsequential since the mixture of SH − and OH − behaves as a source of S 2−. Other alkali metal sulfides behave similarly. [3]
