Product Overview

This BAKER ANALYZED™ ACS reagent zinc in granular form (20 mesh) delivers exceptional purity and consistency for demanding laboratory applications. Each granule is precisely sized to ensure uniform reactivity in chemical processes, making it ideal for analytical testing and synthesis work. The ACS reagent grade certification guarantees minimum 99.9% zinc content with strictly controlled impurities, meeting the most stringent quality standards for research and development. The granular form provides excellent surface area for efficient reactions while maintaining easy handling characteristics. Packaged in a 500g quantity, this zinc offers both convenience for frequent use and protection against contamination. The material’s high purity prevents interference in sensitive analytical procedures, while its consistent particle size distribution ensures reproducible results across experiments. The granules maintain their integrity during storage and handling, resisting oxidation that could compromise performance. This zinc formulation is particularly valued in redox chemistry applications where precise stoichiometry is critical. The BAKER ANALYZED™ certification provides additional assurance of lot-to-lot consistency and comprehensive quality documentation.

FAQs

1.

What is the typical impurity profile for these ACS grade zinc granules?

The impurity profile typically includes trace amounts of lead, cadmium, iron, and copper, all maintained below the strict ACS specifications with lead content not exceeding 0.003% and cadmium below 0.001%. 2.

How should these zinc granules be stored to maintain their purity?

Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from oxidizing agents and moisture. The original packaging is designed to maintain purity when properly resealed after each use. 3.

Are these granules suitable for hydrogen generation experiments?

Yes, the uniform 20 mesh size and high purity make them excellent for controlled hydrogen generation when reacted with acids, providing consistent reaction rates. 4.

What’s the difference between these granules and zinc powder for lab use?

These granules offer better flow characteristics and less dust formation compared to powder, while maintaining comparable reactivity due to their optimized surface area to volume ratio. 5.

Can these granules be used in electrochemical applications?

The high purity and consistent composition make them suitable for many electrochemical applications, though specific suitability depends on your exact experimental parameters and required electrode potentials.
