Potassium bicarbonate crystals are salt that is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of
25 g/100 mL at room temperature. Formula KHCO3, is an inorganic salt, a colorless transparent
monoclinic crystal or white crystal. Odorless, salty, and soluble in water, its aqueous solution
is weakly alkaline.
