Potassium acetate is the potassium salt of acetic acid.It can be prepared by treating a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate with acetic acid:
CH3COOH + KOH → CH3COOK + H2O
This sort of reaction is known as an acid-base neutralization reaction.
Potassium acetate can be used as a deicer to remove ice and prevent its formation. It is a substitute for chloride salts such as calcium chloride or magnesium chloride in deicing applications. It offers the advantage of being less aggressive on soils and much less corrosive, and for this reason is preferred for airport runways. It is, however, more expensive.
Fire extinguishing
Potassium acetate is the extinguishing agent used in Class K fire extinguishers because of its ability to cool and form a crust over burning oils.
In medicine, potassium acetate is used as part of replacement protocols in the treatment of diabetic ketoacidosis because of its ability to break down into bicarbonate and help neutralize the acidotic state.
