What Is Potassium Chloride Used For?
Potassium chloride dissolves easily and its solutions conduct electricity well, so it is a standard electrolyte for conductivity demonstrations and for the salt bridge that joins the two half-cells in an electrochemical cell kit for schools. In pH work, potassium chloride solutions are also used to store and top up many electrodes; follow your meter’s instructions for the exact solution.
In salt analysis, the chloride ion gives a white precipitate with silver nitrate solution, while a flame test on the solid shows the pale lilac colour of potassium, most easily seen through blue cobalt glass. Biology teachers use dilute solutions in osmosis and plant-nutrition activities. The salt is less hazardous than many reagents, but keep it dry, sealed and labelled, and follow the supplied MSDS.
Supplier
Potassium Chloride is a sourced reagent that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies from Ambala, Haryana. We quote it together with conductivity apparatus, burners and glassware, so a department can equip a whole practical through one supplier. Read more on our company profile page.
