Description:

Dipotassium Phosphate is an inorganic compound which is an extremely water-soluble salt. It is generally used as a fertilizer as it is a great source of potassium and phosphorus. It is also used as a food additive as a good source for potassium and phosphorus. It also finds its application as a buffering agent. Buffering agents are used to maintain the pH value of a solution near a particular chosen value. It is added during a chemical process so as to reduce the rapid change in the composition of the compound when acids or bases are added to it. There are different types of acid and base buffers like acetic acid, sodium acetate, sodium bicarbonate etc. Structure of Dipotassium Phosphate The molecular formula or the dipotassium phosphate formula is: K2HPO4 The K2HPO4 name is also known as dipotassium hydrogen orthophosphate, potassium phosphate dibasic. Characteristics of Dipotassium PhosphateThe IUPAC name of this compound is dipotassium hydrogen phosphateThe density of Dipotassium Phosphate is 2.44g/cm3The K2HPO4 molecular weight or molar mass is 174.2g/mol It accepts four hydrogen bonds The melting point of this compound is greater than 465 °CThe chemical formula of the compound is K2HPO4It is freely soluble in water
