Preparation of Potassium bitartrate: this chemical can be prepared by tartaric acid and K2CO3. This reaction will need PH value 2. At last, it will gain Potassium bitartrate via cooling and crystallization.
2 H2C4H4O6+K2CO3→2 KHC4H4O6+CO2↑+H2O
Uses of Potassium bitartrate: In food, potassium bitartrate is used for: stabilising egg whites, increasing their heat tolerance and volume; Preventing sugar syrups from crystallising; Reducing discolouration of boiled vegetables; Frequent combination with baking soda, which requires an acid ingredient to activate it, in formulations of baking powder; Commonly used in combination with potassium chloride in sodium-free salt substitutes; Gingerbread house icing; Stabilising whipped cream stiffness, added after whipping. Potassium bitartrate can be used with white vinegar to make a paste-like cleaning agent.[citation needed] This mixture is sometimes mistakenly made with vinegar and sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), which actually react to neutralise each other, creating carbon dioxide and a sodium acetate solution. Potassium acid tartrate, also known as potassium hydrogen tartrate, is, according to NIST, used as a primary reference standard for a pH buffer.
