Arthur Dent Posted July 25, 2010 Share Posted July 25, 2010 I have read that Potassium perchlorate has very little solubility in water, but is there a solvent that will efficiently dissolve KClO4 ? More importantly, are there incompatibilities with solvents such as acetone, ethanol, methanol or isopropanol? Will any of these dissolve KCLO4 more efficiently than water?

mississippichem Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Not so sure about a good solvent, but I wouldn't want to dissolve any chlorate or perchlorate salts in an alcohol. Perchlorates are the slowest oxidizers or the chloro-oxoanion series but their stand reduction potentials are still around ~(+1.2) V. Maybe acetonitrile or acetic acid would be good solvents.
