Introduction of Potassium Fluoride
Introduction of Potassium fluoride
Potassium fluoride is the chemical compound with the formula KF. After hydrogen fluoride, KF is the primary source of the fluoride ion for applications in manufacturing and in chemistry. It is an alkali halide and occurs naturally as the rare mineral carobbiite.
What kind of substance is potassium fluoride?
Potassium fluoride, represented by the chemical formula KF, is an inorganic compound comprising an alkali metal potassium and monoatomic anion fluoride. It exists in its solid state or aqueous solution form, with the mineral carobbiite being the naturally occurring KF.
Storage & Sensitivity: Hygroscopic. Ambient temperatures.
Dissolubility: Soluble in water and aqueous hydrogen fluoride. Insoluble in alcohol.
What is potassium fluoride used for?
Potassium fluoride is used in metal finishing, batteries, coatings and photographic chemicals. Potassium fluoride utilized for the study of ion-specific swelling and de-swelling of ampholytic polymer gels as well as in the measurement of electronic polarizabilities of ions in polymers of alkali halides.Potassium fluoride finds application in the electronic industry as a metal surface treatment product.Potassium fluoride used as a preservative, a food additive, a catalyzer and a water absorbing agent. In the Finkelstein reaction,Potassium fluoride actively involved in the conversion of chlorocarbons to fluorocarbons using polar solvents like dimethyl formamide and ethylene glycol. Potassium Fluoride is a white, crystalline (sand-like) powder with a sharp, salty taste. It is used in etching glass, as a preservative, and as an insecticide. * Potassium Fluoride is on the Hazardous Substance List because it is regulated by OSHA and cited by ACGIH, DOT, NIOSH and IARC.
