Are you ready to make the switch from BAKING SODA to KOH?

Do you hate the brown mud that you get from Baking Soda?

KOH produces more HHO than Baking Soda.

1/4 Teaspoon KOH is like 1 Teaspoon of Baking Soda.

KOH (Potassium Hydroxide).

Potassium hydroxide is the inorganic compound with the formula KOH, which along with sodium hydroxide, is a prototypical "strong base". It has many industrial and niche applications.

As an electrolyte
  Aqueous potassium hydroxide is employed as the electrolyte in alkaline batteries based on nickel-cadmium and manganese dioxide-zinc. Potassium hydroxide is preferred over sodium hydroxide because its solutions are more conductive.

An electrolyte is any substance containing free ions that behaves as an electrically conductive medium. Because they generally consist of ions in solution, electrolytes are also known as ionic solutions, but molten electrolytes and solid electrolytes are also possible.

Electrochemistry

When electrodes are placed in an electrolyte and a voltage is applied, the electrolyte will conduct electricity. Lone electrons normally cannot pass through the electrolyte; instead, a chemical reaction occurs at the cathode consuming electrons from the cathode, and another reaction occurs at the anode producing electrons to be taken up by the anode. As a result, a negative charge cloud develops in the electrolyte around the cathode, and a positive charge develops around the anode. The ions in the electrolyte move to neutralize these charges so that the reactions can continue and the electrons can keep flowing.

For example, in a solution of ordinary salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) in water, the cathode reaction will be

2H₂O + 2e⁻ → 2OH⁻ + H₂

and hydrogen gas will bubble up; the anode reaction is

2H₂O → O₂ + 4H⁺ + 4e⁻

and oxygen gas will be liberated.
