Potassium sulfate, anhydrous ≥99.0%, powder ACS
Potassium sulphate
Soluble in water (1 g/8.3 mL at 25 °C; 1 g/4 mL boiling water) or glycerol (1 g/75 mL); insoluble in ethanol; the solubility in water is decreased in the presence of KCl or (NH4)2SO4 and is practically insoluble in a saturated solution of the latter.
Analytical applications include the Kjeldahl method for the determination of nitrogen and protein in foodstuffs. It has been used to research electrostatic effects on pKa values of amino acid residues in the staphylococcal nuclease. When a buffer with a high zwitterionic salt concentration is used, Potassium sulfate can be used to improve protein separation via capillary zone electrophoresis. It has been reported to be useful to adsorb immune complexes on agarose derivative adsorbents.
