Product Overview
Cyclohexanone ARS, ACS Grade is a high-purity, clear, and colorless solvent widely recognized for its reliability in laboratory applications. This reagent-grade chemical meets stringent American Chemical Society (ACS) and Analytical Reagent Standard (ARS) specifications, ensuring consistent performance in critical procedures. With a minimum purity of 99.5%, it is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions, making it a trusted choice for demanding lab work. Its low moisture content and stable composition enhance reproducibility in experiments, while its moderate boiling point (155°C) allows for controlled evaporation in various processes. The solvent’s compatibility with a wide range of organic compounds further expands its utility in synthesis, purification, and analytical techniques. Packaged in a leak-proof 500 ml bottle, it offers convenience without compromising safety, as the container is designed to prevent contamination and spillage. Whether used as a reaction medium or for recrystallization, this Cyclohexanone variant delivers precision and efficiency, aligning with the exacting standards of modern laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the difference between ARS and ACS grades in Cyclohexanone?
ARS (Analytical Reagent Standard) and ACS (American Chemical Society) grades both indicate high purity, but ACS compliance adheres to stricter testing protocols for impurities like heavy metals and residual solvents. For most lab applications, either grade performs reliably.
2. Can this Cyclohexanone be used for recrystallization?
Yes, its high purity and low moisture content make it suitable for recrystallization processes, particularly for purifying organic compounds without introducing contaminants.
3. Is this solvent compatible with plastic containers?
Cyclohexanone can dissolve certain plastics like polystyrene or PVC. Store it in glass or HDPE containers to avoid degradation or leakage.
4. What is the typical shelf life of Cyclohexanone ARS, ACS?
When stored in a tightly sealed container away from light and moisture, it remains stable for 2–3 years. Check for cloudiness or odor changes before use.
5. Are there safer alternatives for educational labs?
For less hazardous options, consider acetone or ethanol, though they may not match Cyclohexanone’s solvent strength. Always follow institutional safety guidelines.
