Product Overview
Cupric nitrate LR is a high-purity laboratory reagent designed for precise chemical applications. This crystalline powder, formulated to LR (Laboratory Reagent) grade, ensures reliability in qualitative analysis, synthesis, and general lab experiments. Its consistent composition and low impurity levels make it a trusted choice for researchers and students working on reactions requiring copper-based compounds. The reagent is hygroscopic, so proper storage in a cool, dry place is essential to maintain its stability. With a molecular formula of Cu(NO₃)₂·3H₂O, it dissolves readily in water, forming a blue solution, and is compatible with most standard lab glassware. Whether used as an oxidizing agent or a catalyst, cupric nitrate LR delivers reproducible results, making it a staple in chemical laboratories. Its versatility extends to applications in electroplating, corrosion studies, and as a precursor in copper compound synthesis.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of cupric nitrate LR?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from moisture, cupric nitrate LR retains its stability for up to 2 years.
2. Is this reagent compatible with plastic containers?
While it can be stored in HDPE or PP containers, glass is preferred to prevent potential leaching or reactions over time.
3. Can cupric nitrate LR be used in electrochemical experiments?
Yes, its high purity makes it suitable for electrochemical applications, including copper plating and battery research.
4. What precautions should be taken during handling?
Wear gloves and goggles, as it is an oxidizer and can cause skin irritation. Avoid inhalation of dust.
5. Are there alternatives for applications requiring lower copper content?
Cuprous nitrate or diluted cupric nitrate solutions can be used, but purity and reaction conditions may vary.
