Chemical properties:

Potassium hydroxide is a strong base that can completely dissolve in water, producing a potassium hydroxide solution. Its solution is alkaline and can neutralize acidic substances. It is non-flammable and highly corrosive. It releases a large amount of heat when it comes into contact with water and water vapor, forming a corrosive solution. It reacts with acids to neutralize them and releases heat.
