No, the formal name is potassium ethanoate
Potassium Acetate
The compound name for CH3COOK is potassium acetate.
The name of that salt would be potassium acetate. It has many uses such as deicing roadways (instead of the more corrosive NaCl) and acting as a food preservative.
Ethyl iodide will undergo an SN2 reaction with potassium acetate to form ethyl acetate and potassium iodide. This reaction involves the substitution of the iodine atom in ethyl iodide with the acetate ion from potassium acetate.
When potassium chloride and silver acetate react, a double displacement reaction occurs. The potassium from potassium acetate and silver from silver chloride swap partners to form silver chloride and potassium acetate. Silver chloride is insoluble and precipitates out of the solution.
The formula for potassium sulphite is K2SO3.
KC2H3O2 potassium has a +1 charge Acetate ion has a -1 charge
Potassium acetate is not corrosive as chloride salts and it is not a pollutant of soils.
Potassium acetate is not a base. It is a salt that is formed by the reaction between potassium hydroxide (a base) and acetic acid (a weak acid).
No, potassium acetate is a salt formed by the reaction of a strong base (potassium hydroxide) with a weak acid (acetic acid). Potassium acetate is neutral and does not act as an acid in aqueous solutions.
