How do you make potassium sulfate?

Potassium sulfate can be made by reacting potassium chloride with sulfuric acid. The reaction produces potassium sulfate and hydrochloric acid as byproduct. The potassium sulfate can then be extracted and purified.


Is potassium sulphate a base or acidic?

Potassium sulfate is neither base nor acid - it is a salt. You could get it by mixing something like potassium hydroxide (a base) with sulfuric acid and allowing the neutralization reaction to occur. Since it is actually often produce by reacting potassium chloride with sulfuric acid to get potassium sulfate and HCl (aka hydrogen chloride, aka hydrochloric acid when dissolved in water) you might expect it to be contaminated with some residual acid.


Is potassium sulfate acid?

No. Potassium sulfate is a salt. It is weakly alkaline.


What does H2SO4 plus KOH yield?

The reaction between sulfuric acid (H2SO4) and potassium hydroxide (KOH) will yield potassium sulfate (K2SO4) and water (H2O) as the products. This is a neutralization reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form a salt and water.


What apparatus is used to prepare potassium sulfate?

Potassium sulfate can be prepared by reacting potassium chloride with sulfuric acid in a round-bottom flask, equipped with a reflux condenser. Heat is applied to the reaction mixture, and the sulfuric acid reacts with the potassium chloride to produce potassium sulfate and hydrochloric acid.


Is sulfate a base or an acid?

Neither. Sulfate, SO4, is a polyatomic ion. Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), however, is an acid.


Is copper sulfate an acid or a base?

Copper sulfate is an acid.


What is the name and formula of the salt produced in the neutralization of sulfuric acid by potassium hydroxide?

The salt produced in the neutralization of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by potassium hydroxide (KOH) is potassium sulfate (K2SO4).


What is the reaction between sulfuric acid and potassium nitrate?

When sulfuric acid reacts with potassium nitrate, it forms potassium sulfate, nitric acid, and water.


What is formed when potassium hydroxide is neutralized by sulfuric acid?
