Talk:Potassium bitartrate

message: Where did Cream of Tartar get its name? The Tartaric acid article says
"Tartaric acid was first isolated from potassium tartrate, known to the ancients as tartar"

message: There's a great example of potassium bitartrate at de:Weinstein, specifically .
How exactly to I move it over here? 76.66.209.194 (talk) 20:16, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, nice example.  Looks like this can't be done right now because the Wikipedia-stored :Image:Weinstein.jpg has a conflicting (identical) name.  I've submitted a rename request for the local file.  I'll throw the image up after the rename happens. Noca2plus (talk) 23:24, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Good picture at wikipedia.de 

message: In the 'Chemistry section', 'potassium bitartrate will dissociate into acid tartrate, potassium cation, and the tartrate dianion.' In this sentence, the term 'dianion' is wikilinked to the Dianion article, which is itself a redirect to the Ion article...which does not mention the term 'dianion' at all! My suggestion is to rewrite this bit into 'potassium bitartrate will dissociate into potassium, acid tartrate, and tartrate' and thereby avoid mention of 'dianion' altogether. The alternative would be to edit the Ion article to accommodate this term. Thoughts? PBarak (talk) 18:13, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undefined 'dianion' 

message: In the 'Chemistry section'. 'potassium bitartrate will dissociate into acid tartrate, tartrate and potassium ions.' In this sentence the word dissociate is used to refer to two separate processes, dissolving of a salt and the dissociation of an acid molecule. While dissolving is a dissociation process, I would just call it dissolving saving dissociation for the process of breaking up the hydrogen tartrate molecular ion into the tartrate ion and the hydronium ion. If the trivial name bitartrate is preferred to hydrogen tartare and hydrogen ion is preferred to the hydronium ion then I would rewrite the sentence as "On dissolving the bitartrate ion further dissociates to form tartrate and hydrogen ions". If a more chemically accurate description is wanted then I would write "On dissolving the hydrogen tartrate anion further dissociates with water to form tartrate anions and hydronium cations". There will also be a very small number of tartaric acid molecules as well, but less than the number of tartrate ions.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.72.213.123 (talk) 05:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

message: My guess is an anti-caking agent, but the line relating to its use in salt-substitutes does not specify why it is used in them, whereas the other lines in that section do offer reasons for use.  I'm hoping someone better than I at wikipedia can fix this.  tyvm  ;>jamvaru (talk) 11:00, 7 March 2014 (UTC)

message: The linked reference, Yoga Wiz, does not mention anything about potassium bitartrate having efficacy against candida as is claimed in the article.  Moreover, I'm iffy on the use of the site as a 'reliable source' in any case. 50.164.202.78 (talk) 03:50, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree.  A source like that should never be used to support a medical claim (WP:MEDRS).  I have removed the claim and the reference. -- Ed (Edgar181) 11:19, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

message: In the "Chemistry" section it reads: "Upon dissolution in acid, potassium bitartrate will dissociate into acid tartrate, tartrate, and potassium ions."
Are 'acid tartrate' and 'tartrate' different or is this a typo?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 104.51.149.199 (talk) 09:08, 9 November 2017 (UTC)
