Application
Potassium acetic acid is commonly used for many industrial and scientific purposes. It is used as a de-icer on runways and roads because it lowers the freezing point of water. It is also used as a food preservative and buffering agent in the production of pharmaceuticals.
In medicine, potassium acetate is used to treat hyperkalemia, a condition that occurs when potassium levels in the blood are too high. It is also used in the production of dialysis fluids for patients with kidney failure.
As a reagent in laboratory experiments, potassium acetate is used to precipitate DNA and RNA, as well as other biological molecules. It is also used as a catalyst in the synthesis of chemicals such as butyl acetate, an ingredient in many perfumes and fragrances.
