On the Properties of Potassium Acetate
Potassium acetate has many properties that can be investigated. From the perspective of physical and chemical properties, this is a white crystalline powder that is highly soluble in water and can also be dissolved in ethanol, showing alkaline characteristics.
As far as its harm is concerned, it poses a risk of irritation to the eyes, skin and respiratory tract. If you are not careful about entering the eyes, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately. If you touch the skin, you need to wash it with soap and water immediately.

When storing, it should be placed in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and should be stored separately from oxidants and acids. Do not mix storage to prevent dangerous chemical reactions.
In terms of use, it is often used as a buffer, desiccant, etc. in the industrial field; in agriculture, it also has certain uses. When using, it is necessary to strictly follow the operating procedures. Operators need to wear appropriate protective equipment, such as protective glasses, gloves, etc., for safety.
All the characteristics, hazards, storage and use of potassium acetate need to be carefully paid attention to, and careful handling can be used to achieve the purpose of reasonable use and safety.
