Potassium hydroxide is a common inorganic base with chemical formula of KOH and molecular weight of 56.1. It is a white powder or flake solid at room temperature.The properties of potassium hydroxide are similar to that of sodium hydroxide, with strong alkaline and corrosive properties. The pH of 0.1 mol/L solution is 13.5.
Potassium hydroxide easily absorbs moisture in the air and deliquesces, and absorbs carbon dioxide to form potassium carbonate.
It is soluble in about 0.6 parts of hot water, 0.9 parts of cold water, 3 parts of ethanol, 2.5 parts of glycerol, slightly soluble in ether.
Hydrogen oxidation produces a great deal of heat when dissolved in water, alcohols, or treated with acids.

Moderate toxicity, half lethal dose (rat, oral) 1230 mg/kg.
