Molecular Weight: 101.10
Product description:Appearance is colorless or white powder, odorless, specific gravity of 2.11 (water = 1). In the water solubility of 13 g / 100 ml (owing to the different temperature, the temperature is, the higher the solubility, chemicals, potassium nitrate solubility change is pretty obvious). Deliquescence than sodium nitrate is low, have cooling stimulate salt taste. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol.1, used as analytical reagent and oxidant, and also the explosive used in the synthesis and preparation of potassium salts. 2, used as a hair color agent in food industry, stabilizer.color-protecting, antimicrobial agents, preservatives, such as for bacon, anti-corrosion effect in the luncheon meat.
