POTASSIUM HYDROGEN PHTHALATE LR
SKU: RXSOL-60-6605-297
KHP is slightly acidic, and it is often used as a primary standard for acid–base titrations because it is solid and air-stable, making it easy to weigh accurately. It is also used as a primary standard for calibrating pH meters because, besides the properties just mentioned, its pH in solution is very stable.
Application
Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination. It finds application as a useful standard for total organic carbon testing.
Dosage
Potassium hydrogen phthalate makes for a good primary standard because it is stable, high in purity, non-hydroscopic, highly soluble, non-toxic, high in molecular weight, cheap, and available
