Product Overview
Hydroiodic Acid ARS, ACS is a high-purity, concentrated (57%) reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications. This analytical-grade acid meets stringent American Chemical Society (ACS) and Analytical Reagent Standard (ARS) specifications, ensuring reliability in qualitative and quantitative analysis. Its exceptional purity minimizes interference in sensitive procedures, making it indispensable for precise chemical synthesis, redox reactions, and iodination processes. The acid is stabilized to prevent degradation, maintaining its potency over extended storage periods when handled under recommended conditions. Its strong reducing properties and compatibility with organic solvents further enhance its versatility in complex experimental setups. The 250 ml packaging provides an optimal balance between usability and shelf stability, while the amber glass bottle protects against light-induced decomposition. This reagent is particularly valued for its consistent performance in titrations, catalyst preparation, and as a reducing agent in organic chemistry. The ACS certification guarantees adherence to strict quality control measures, while the ARS designation confirms its suitability for high-accuracy analytical work. Proper handling with standard laboratory safety protocols is recommended due to its corrosive nature and potential to release iodine vapors.
FAQs
1. What is the typical concentration range for Hydroiodic Acid ARS, ACS?
The standard concentration for this grade of hydroiodic acid is approximately 57% w/w, though slight variations may occur due to manufacturing processes.
2. Can this acid be used for preparing iodide salts?
Yes, the high purity of this ARS, ACS grade makes it suitable for synthesizing various iodide compounds through neutralization reactions with appropriate bases.
3. What materials are compatible with this acid for storage?
Glass containers with PTFE-lined caps are recommended for storage, as the acid can corrode many metals and degrade most plastics over time.
