Key Properties
POTASSIUM HYDROXIDE 1M (1N) In Methanol Standardized Solution is a certified standardized solution used primarily for non-aqueous acid-base titrations. This solution contains potassium hydroxide (KOH) dissolved in methanol (CH3OH), providing a reliable and consistent base for titration processes. The solution is notable for its high purity and precise concentration, making it suitable for analytical applications in laboratories. It is essential for chemists who require accurate measurements in non-aqueous environments, particularly in organic chemistry and related fields.
Also known as KOH in Methanol.

The solution is a clear, colorless liquid, indicating its purity and lack of impurities. It has a density of approximately 0.79 g/cm³, typical for methanol-based solutions. The boiling point of methanol is around 64.7 °C, while the freezing point is approximately -97.6 °C. The solution is highly soluble in water, although it is primarily used in non-aqueous titrations. The pH of the solution is strongly alkaline due to the presence of potassium hydroxide, which is a strong base.
