KOH preparation

A KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation involves creating a solution by carefully dissolving KOH crystals in water. This process requires gradually adding the solid to water while stirring to ensure it fully dissolves without splattering. KOH solutions are used in laboratory and industrial settings for cleaning, chemical reactions, or tissue digestion. Proper safety precautions, such as wearing gloves and eye protection, are essential because KOH is a strong alkaline compound that can cause burns. The goal is to produce a clear, uniform solution suitable for the intended scientific or technical application.
