The pKa of KHP is 5.4, so its pH buffering range would be 4.4 to 6.4; however, due to the presence of the second acidic group that bears the potassium ion, the first pKa also contributes to the buffering range well below pH 4.0, which is why KHP is a good choice for use as a reference standard for pH 4.00.

Phthalates (US: / ˈ θ æ l eɪ t s / UK: / ˈ θ ɑː l eɪ t s ˌ ˈ f θ æ l ɪ t s / [1] [2]), or phthalate esters, are esters of phthalic acid. They are mainly used as plasticizers , i.e., substances added to plastics to increase their flexibility, transparency, durability, and longevity.
The monopotassium salt, potassium hydrogen phthalate is a standard acid in analytical chemistry. Typically phthalate esters are prepared from the widely available phthalic anhydride. Reduction of phthalic acid with sodium amalgam in the presence of water gives the 1,3-cyclohexadiene derivative. [13]
Folpet, a phthalimide, is a commercial fungicide. [3]Phthalimide is used as a precursor to anthranilic acid, a precursor to azo dyes and saccharin. [2]Alkyl phthalimides are useful precursors to amines in chemical synthesis, especially in peptide synthesis where they are used "to block both hydrogens and avoid racemization of the substrates".

It is manufactured by treating an aqueous solution of potassium carbonate or potassium hydroxide with carbon dioxide: [1] K 2 CO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O → 2 KHCO 3. Decomposition of the bicarbonate occurs between 100 and 120 °C (212 and 248 °F): 2 KHCO 3 → K 2 CO 3 + CO 2 + H 2 O. This reaction is employed to prepare high purity potassium carbonate.
