Product Overview
Bromobenzene AR is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for laboratory applications requiring precision and reliability. This colorless to pale yellow liquid features a molecular formula of C6H5Br, ensuring consistent performance in organic synthesis, solvent-based reactions, and as a reagent in various chemical processes. With a boiling point of 156°C and a density of 1.495 g/mL at 25°C, it offers excellent stability under standard lab conditions. The AR grade certification guarantees a minimum purity of 99%, making it suitable for sensitive experiments where impurities could compromise results. Its non-corrosive nature and low moisture content further enhance its utility in long-term storage and repeated use. The compound is miscible with most organic solvents but insoluble in water, providing versatility in different reaction mediums. Proper handling with standard lab safety measures is recommended due to its mild irritant properties. This Bromobenzene variant comes in a 250 ml amber glass bottle with a secure PTFE-lined cap to prevent contamination and evaporation, ensuring product integrity until use.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Bromobenzene AR when stored properly?
When stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, Bromobenzene AR maintains its stability for up to 24 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the label for the exact expiration date.
2. Can this Bromobenzene be used as a solvent for polar compounds?
Bromobenzene is primarily non-polar and works best as a solvent for other non-polar or weakly polar organic compounds. It is not recommended for dissolving highly polar substances like salts or sugars.
3. What safety precautions should be taken while handling Bromobenzene AR?
Use standard laboratory protective equipment including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. Avoid skin contact and wash thoroughly after handling.
4. Is this Bromobenzene compatible with plastic containers for storage?
While Bromobenzene is generally stable, prolonged storage in plastic containers may lead to leaching or degradation. The original amber glass packaging is recommended for long-term storage to maintain purity.
5. How does the AR grade differ from technical grade Bromobenzene?
AR grade Bromobenzene undergoes rigorous purification processes to achieve 99%+ purity with minimal impurities, making it suitable for analytical applications. Technical grade typically has lower purity (around 90-95%) and may contain trace contaminants.
