Chemical Information
FooDB NamePotassium hydroxide (KOH)
DescriptionPotassium hydroxide, also known as aetzkali or caustic potash, belongs to the class of inorganic compounds known as alkali metal hydroxides. These are inorganic compounds in which the largest oxoanion is hydroxide, and in which the heaviest atom not in an oxoanion is an alkali metal. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Potassium hydroxide.
