The Side Effecrs of Potassium Acetate

Potassium acetate, also known as acok or CH₃CO₂K, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as acetate salts.

Potassium Acetate is a moderately water soluble crystalline Potassium source that decomposes to Potassium oxide on heating. It is usually immediately available in most volumes. All metallic acetates are inorganic salts containing a metal cation and the acetate anion, a univalent (-1 charge) polyatomic ion composed of two carbon atoms ionically bound to three hydrogen and two oxygen atoms (Symbol: CH₃COO) for a total formula weight of 59.05. Acetates are excellent precursors for production of ultra high purity compounds, catalysts, and nanoscale materials.

Side Effects
