Description

Potassium sulfate (K2SO4) is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water. It is a common component of fertilizers, as it provides potassium, an essential nutrient for plant growth. It is also used in the production of glass, dyes, and other chemicals. Potassium sulfate can be synthesized by reacting potassium hydroxide with sulfuric acid. It is a non-toxic compound, but high concentrations can irritate the skin and eyes. Potassium sulfate is studied for its potential applications in various fields, including agriculture, industry, and medicine.'

potassium sulfate: RN given refers to cpd with MF of K2-H2SO4 [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]
