Potassium bismuthate, KBiO 3, is an inorganic chemical compound of potassium from the group of bismuthates .
Extraction and presentation
The oxidation of bismuth (III) nitrate with the potassium hydroxide solution leads to the synthesis of potassium bismuthate.
It can also be obtained from molten potassium hydroxide and bismuth (III) oxide .
properties
The salt crystallizes in a cubic crystal system . It has the space group Im 3 (space group no. 204) with the lattice constant a = 10.0194 Å . It is isostructural to potassium antimonite KSbO 3 .
