Potassium hydroxide is a common inorganic base with a chemical formula of KOH and a molecular weight of 56.1. White powder or flake solid, melting point 380 ℃, boiling point 1324 ℃, relative density 2.04 g/cm3, refractive index n20/D 1.421, vapor pressure 1mmHg (719 ℃). Its properties are similar to sodium hydroxide, which is strongly alkaline and corrosive. The pH of a 0.1 mol/L solution is 13.5. Easily absorb moisture in the air and deliquescence, absorbing carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate.
