[edit]

The Link to the japanese page seems wrong, at least it links back to potassium carbonate... -- 217.186.243.101 23:30, 11 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

and?

[edit]

Why is this in club soda? It's not mentioned in either article. But this art6cle should mention why it's put into things we may drink. -Iopq 01:26, 13 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

why does it say no-where why potassium sulphate does what it does please help me! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.3.225.246 (talk) 16:47, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Arcanite

[edit]

Is Arcanite really another word for this chemical? Dread Lord CyberSkull ✎☠ 12:05, 25 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Apparantly yes. ping 06:50, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
webminerals looks like it has this name!--Stone 09:30, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Hardly an acidity regulator

[edit]

Potassium sulphate may well have an E-number but it has no acid hydrogen and would be a very weak base. A SO42-/HSO4- buffer would probably have a very low buffer capacity, so I doubt that it would be used as an acidity regulator!150.227.15.253 (talk) 14:00, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's not unusual to use a weak base to limit acidity. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:11, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

OK, i found information saying that a water solution would be pH 8-9.25 but that was for a technical grade so a more reliable value could be calculated from the pKa of HSO4-.150.227.15.253 (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
