|  |  | Potassium hydrogen phthalate Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | white crystalline powder |  | Uses | As primary standard for preparing volumetric alkali solutions, also as a buffer in pH determinations. |  | Uses | As a primary standard for preparing volumetric alkali solutions and as a buffer in pH determinations. Potassium hydrogen phthalate is used as a primary standard for acid- base titrations as well as for calibrating pH meters. It acts as a buffer in pH determination. It finds application as a useful standard for total organic carbon testing. |  | Uses | Potassium hydrogen phthalate [KHP; pH(S) = 4.005 (25 °C)] is a certified secondary standard reference material used as a calibration buffer standard for pH instruments or pH electrodes. |  | General Description | SRM 2185_cert SRM 2185 _SDS |  | Flammability and Explosibility | Notclassified |  | Purification Methods | Crystallise it first from a dilute aqueous solution of K2CO3, then H2O (3mL/g) between 100o and 0o. Before being used as a standard in volumetric analysis, analytical grade potassium hydrogen phthalate should be dried at 120o for 2hours, then allowed to cool in a desiccator.
