Product Overview
This 2M (2N) standardized hydrochloric acid solution is a high-purity analytical reagent designed for precision in laboratory applications. The solution is pre-standardized to ensure accurate molar concentration, eliminating the need for in-house standardization and reducing procedural errors. Formulated with ultra-pure HCl and deionized water, it meets strict quality control standards to deliver consistent results in titrimetric analyses. The reagent-grade purity minimizes interference from impurities, making it suitable for sensitive analytical techniques where trace contaminants could affect outcomes. Packaged in a durable HDPE bottle with a tamper-evident seal, the solution maintains stability and prevents contamination during storage. The 1000 ml pack size offers an optimal balance between bulk efficiency and freshness, reducing the frequency of replenishment while ensuring the solution remains within its specified concentration range throughout its shelf life.
FAQs
1. How is the 2M concentration of this HCl solution verified?
The solution undergoes rigorous standardization against a primary standard (typically sodium carbonate or borax) using potentiometric or colorimetric titration methods to confirm the exact molarity before packaging.
2. Can this HCl solution be used for preparing lower concentrations?
Yes, the solution can be diluted with deionized water to achieve lower molarities, provided the dilution is performed using calibrated volumetric glassware to maintain accuracy.
3. What is the shelf life of this standardized HCl solution?
When stored in its original, tightly sealed container at room temperature (15-25°C), the solution remains stable for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Is this HCl solution compatible with automatic titrators?
The solution is suitable for both manual and automated titration systems, as its standardized concentration and low impurity profile ensure reliable performance in instrument-based analyses.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solution?
Always wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work under a fume hood, as the solution releases corrosive vapors, and neutralize spills immediately with sodium bicarbonate.
