General description
Potassium rhodizonate (3,4,5,6-Tetraoxocyclohexene-1,2-diol dipotassium salt, Rhodizonic acid potassium salt), a benzoquinone derivative, is the potassium salt of rhodizonic acid. Its crystalline structure has been reported and it exhibits space group Fddd.[1] Rhodizonate dianion undergoes various thermal and photochemical reactions with various oxidizing reagents in aqueous solution.[2]
Application
Potassium rhodizonate is suitable reagent for the preparation of staining solution used in the rhodizonate test for the detection of lead.[3] It is suitable reagent used in the preparation of barium, thallium, ammonium and silver salts rhodizonic acid by metathesis in aqueous solution.[2]
It may be used in the following studies:
It may be used in the following studies:
- To cocrystallize plutonium and radium from urine in the plutonium and radium assay of urine.[4][5]
- As a dye in the spectrophotometric determination of sulfate ion.[6]
- To determine the acid dissociation constants of rhodizonic acid by pH potentiometric titration of potassium rhodizonate with standardized HCl.[7]
- As a staining agent for plagioclase in the petrographic study.[8]
