Description

Potassium carbonate (K2CO3), also known as potash, is a white, water-soluble salt. It is an inorganic compound that has a wide range of applications in industry and science. It is commonly produced by the reaction of potassium hydroxide (KOH) with carbon dioxide (CO2). Potassium carbonate is a strong base and can be used in various chemical reactions, such as saponification, which is the process of making soap. It also plays a role in glass manufacturing, where it lowers the melting point of the silica (SiO2). In the food industry, it is used as a food additive, acting as a leavening agent and pH regulator. The compound is studied for its potential applications in fields such as battery technology, where it is used as an electrolyte in solid-state batteries. '
