Product Name – SULPHURIC ACID 98% AR/ACS Quantity/Pack Size – 500 mL, 1 L Form – Liquid Grade – AR/ACS Application – Dehydration, catalysis, chemical synthesis
Product Overview
Sulphuric Acid 98% AR/ACS is a dense, oily liquid with powerful dehydrating and oxidizing properties, essential for a wide range of laboratory applications. This high-purity reagent adheres to AR/ACS standards, ensuring minimal impurities for accurate analytical results. Its strong acidic nature makes it ideal for catalysis in organic reactions, such as esterification and sulfonation, while its hygroscopic properties enable effective dehydration of compounds. The acid?s high concentration demands careful handling, as it can cause severe burns and generate heat upon dilution. Store in a cool, dry place, away from organic materials and bases, to prevent violent reactions. Always use in a fume hood with proper ventilation and protective equipment. The solution?s stability under controlled conditions ensures long-term reliability in experimental procedures.
