POTASSIUM SODIUM TARTRATE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics
Potassium Sodium Tartrate, also known as Rochelle salt, is a double salt of tartaric acid. It appears as a colorless to white crystalline powder and is highly soluble in water. This compound has significant applications in the medical field, particularly as a laxative and in the formulation of effervescent medicines. In analytical chemistry, it serves as a primary standard for the standardization of solutions. Additionally, it finds use in electroplating, as a sequestering agent in textile and dyeing processes, and as a component in the preparation of the Fehling’s solution, which is used to test for the presence of reducing sugars. The compound also plays a role in the preparation of mirrors due to its ability to reduce silver nitrate to metallic silver.
