Molecular formula of monopotassium phosphate :KH2PO4;Molecular weight of potassium dihydrogen phosphate :136

1. Potassium

Potassium has a relative atomic weight of 39, one potassium atom (1*39) in monopotassium phosphate

The proportion of potassium in monopotassium phosphate is 39/136 28.67

potassium element (k) in monopotassium phosphate is: 28.67%

The conversion coefficient of potassium oxide content and potassium content: K2O / 2K = (39 × 2 + 16) / 39 × 2 = 94 / 78 = 1.205

(K2O) theoretical content in monopotassium phosphate = 28.67% × 1.205 = 34.54%

(K2O) ((99%) 99% in monopotassium phosphate, the content of potassium oxide is 34.54% * 99% = 34.19%

2. Phosphorus

The relative atomic weight of phosphorus is 31, and there is one phosphorus atom in monopotassium phosphate (1*31).

The proportion of phosphorus in monopotassium phosphate is 31/136 22.794

The theoretical content of P in monopotassium phosphate is 22.794

Conversion coefficient between phosphorus pentoxide content and phosphorus content: p2o5/2p =(31*2+16*5)/31*2=142/62 2.29

The theoretical content of P2O5 in monopotassium phosphate is 22.794% × 2.29 = 52.198%

99% in monopotassium phosphate, the content of P2O5 is 52.198% * 99% = 51.67%

3. Hydrogen

The relative atomic weight of hydrogen element is 1. There are two hydrogen atoms (2 * 1) in monopotassium phosphate

The proportion of hydrogen in monopotassium phosphate is 2/136 1.47

Theoretical content of hydrogen in monopotassium phosphate :1.47

4. Oxygen

Oxygen has a relative atomic weight of 16, and in monopotassium phosphate we have four oxygen atoms (4*16).

The proportion of oxygen in monopotassium phosphate is 64/136 47.06

the theoretical content of oxygen element (O) in monopotassium phosphate: 47.06%

The theoretical content of each element in monopotassium phosphate: 28.67% in monopotassium phosphate; 1.47% in hydrogen; 22.794% in phosphorus; 47.06% in oxygen; 28.67% in 28.67% + 1.47% + 22.794% + 47.06% ≈ 100%

In short: 99% monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) means 99% of the substance is monopotassium phosphate, and the remaining 1% is impurity. However, if we use phosphorus pentoxide and potassium oxide for calculation, the content is 86%. What's left is not something else or lost, but our calculation method is different.
