Chemical Properties and Characteristics

Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate is an inorganic salt that generally appears as a white or colourless crystalline solid. It dissolves in water and forms an acidic phosphate solution. These properties make it useful in preparing phosphate buffers and in laboratory procedures where controlled phosphate concentrations are required.

The chemical formula KH₂PO₄ represents one potassium ion and the dihydrogen phosphate ion. Its molecular weight is approximately 136.09 g/mol. The compound is often selected for laboratory buffer preparation because it can be combined with other phosphate salts to establish a suitable pH range.

The EMSURE® ISO designation identifies a specific analytical reagent product. For exact assay limits, impurity specifications, and acceptance criteria, consult the manufacturer’s current product documentation and certificate of analysis (COA). Do not assume a particular purity percentage unless it is confirmed by the applicable specification.
