*Required Fields
The Potassium bitartrate, with the CAS registry number 868-14-4, is also known as Butanedioic acid, 2,3-dihydroxy- (2R,3R)-, potassium salt (1:1). Its EINECS registry number is 212-769-1. This chemical's molecular formula is KC4H5O6 and molecular weight is 188.177. Its IUPAC name is called potassium (2R,3R)-2,3,4-trihydroxy-4-oxobutanoate. When you are using this chemical, please be cautious about it. You must avoid contact with skin and eyes.

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.
