Potassium citrate, also known as tri-potassium citrate, is a potassium salt derived from citric acid. It has the molecular formula K3C6H5O7. It is a white, hygroscopic, crystalline powder. It has a pleasant, saline flavor and is odorless. It has 38.28% potassium in mass. It is deliquescent and highly hygroscopic in monohydrate form. It is also used as a food additive to control acidity. It can be used medicinally to treat kidney stones that are caused by uric acid and cystine.
Potassium citrate, a citrate salt with chemical formula C6H5K3O7 and molecular weight 306.39500 are white, slightly hygroscopic, crystalline powder.
It can be used to treat kidney stones derived from uric acid or cystine. It can be used medically to reduce uric acid and cystine in the kidneys, as well as to prevent hypokalemia, alkalinization, and other problems. When taken by mouth, potassium citrate is quickly absorbed and excreted in the urine.
It is an alkaline sodium, which is why it can reduce pain and frequency when urinating in highly acidic urine. This is why it is often used in cats and dogs. It is primarily used as a non-irritating diuretic. It is often used in an aqueous solution along with other potassium salts.
This is a useful wet chemical fire suppressant, especially for kitchen fires. Because it has an alkaline pH, saponification is encouraged to insulate fuel from oxygenizing air. The endothermic dehydration reaction absorbs heat energy and reduces temperatures.
