Properties of Potassium Carbonate K2CO3 White Powder
Potassium Carbonate K2CO3 White Powder is odorless with alkaline taste. It has a high melting point of about 891°C (1,636°F). It is highly hygroscopic, when exposed to the air for a long time, it will turn into Potassium Bicarbonate by absorbing CO2.
Potassium Carbonate K2CO3 White Powder is highly soluble in water and forming to a strongly alkaline solution. Under normal conditions, it is stable; however, when heated, it can decompose to form potassium oxide and carbon dioxide.
