Product Overview
Ammonium Ceric Nitrate 99% AR/ACS is a high-purity, orange-red crystalline powder widely recognized for its strong oxidizing properties. This analytical-grade reagent is highly soluble in water and acids, making it a preferred choice for redox titrations and quantitative chemical analysis. Its stable composition ensures consistent performance in laboratory applications where precision is critical. The compound decomposes upon heating, releasing nitrogen oxides, which necessitates careful handling under controlled conditions. With a purity level of 99%, it meets the stringent standards of AR (Analytical Reagent) and ACS (American Chemical Society) grades, guaranteeing minimal impurities and reliable results. The product is packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its efficacy over time. Whether used in volumetric analysis or as a primary standard, this reagent delivers accuracy and reproducibility, making it indispensable in modern laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of Ammonium Ceric Nitrate 99% AR/ACS?
When stored in a cool, dry place in its original sealed container, the reagent remains stable for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this compound compatible with plastic containers for storage?
It is recommended to store Ammonium Ceric Nitrate in glass containers, as prolonged contact with certain plastics may lead to degradation or contamination.
3. Can this product be used as a primary standard in titrations?
Yes, due to its high purity and stable composition, it is suitable for use as a primary standard in redox titrations after proper standardization procedures.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling this oxidizing agent?
Always wear protective gloves, goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid contact with organic materials, as it may cause fire or explosion. Work in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood.
5. How does the AR/ACS grade differ from technical-grade Ammonium Ceric Nitrate?
The AR/ACS grade ensures higher purity (99%) with tightly controlled impurities, making it suitable for analytical applications, whereas technical-grade may contain higher impurity levels.
