Key Applications
This versatile solution finds applications in various laboratory procedures including:
- Acid-base titrations in analytical chemistry
- pH adjustment in buffer preparations
- Saponification value determination in lipid analysis
- Neutralization reactions in research protocols
- Educational demonstrations of stoichiometry concepts
Why This Solution Stands Out
The citrisol formulation offers distinct advantages over traditional KOH solutions. The proprietary stabilization system prevents the absorption of atmospheric CO₂, which would otherwise alter the solution’s concentration over time. This means you can trust the accuracy of your results even after prolonged storage.
For laboratories that prioritize efficiency, this pre-standardized solution eliminates the variability associated with manual preparation. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to ensure the concentration remains precisely at 0.1M (0.1N), giving you confidence in your experimental data.
Safety and Handling
While potassium hydroxide solutions are essential lab reagents, they require careful handling. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment including chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection when working with this solution. In case of skin contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Store the solution in its original tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from incompatible substances like acids and organic materials. The citrisol formulation helps maintain stability, but proper storage remains crucial for longevity.
Compatibility with Lab Equipment
This solution is compatible with standard laboratory glassware and volumetric equipment. For best results, use calibrated burettes and pipettes when performing titrations. The clear, colorless solution allows for easy visualization of endpoint detection in titrations using indicators like phenolphthalein.
When purchasing from eqipped, you’re getting more than just a chemical solution – you’re investing in a product designed with the practical needs of Indian laboratories in mind. Our packaging ensures safe transportation, while the citrisol formulation guarantees stability in diverse climatic conditions.
FAQs
What is the shelf life of this potassium hydroxide solution?
When stored properly in its original container, this citrisol-stabilized solution maintains its concentration for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
Can I use this solution for food analysis applications?
While this is a lab-grade solution suitable for general chemical analysis, for food-specific applications, we recommend verifying with your specific testing protocols or considering food-grade certified alternatives.
How should I dispose of unused potassium hydroxide solution?
Neutralize with a weak acid like acetic acid before disposal according to your institution’s chemical waste management protocols. Never pour concentrated solutions down the drain.
Is this solution suitable for student laboratory experiments?
Yes, this 0.1M concentration is commonly used in educational settings for teaching titration techniques and stoichiometry concepts, provided proper safety measures are followed.
Can I dilute this solution to prepare lower concentrations?
Yes, you can prepare lower concentrations by careful dilution with deionized water, but always recalculate the normality after dilution for accurate results.
