Product Overview
Cerium(IV) sulfate, 0.05 mol/L (0.05 N) AVS TITRINORM® volumetric solution is a high-precision reagent designed for accurate redox titrations in analytical laboratories. This ready-to-use solution is standardized to 0.05N concentration, ensuring consistent and reproducible results without the need for additional dilution or preparation. The solution is stabilized in sulfuric acid, which enhances its shelf life and maintains the Ce(IV) oxidation state, preventing premature reduction that could compromise titration accuracy. The Titrinorm® grade guarantees adherence to strict analytical standards, making it suitable for applications where precision is critical, such as in pharmaceutical quality control, environmental testing, and industrial process monitoring. The solution’s bright yellow-orange color, characteristic of Ce(IV) ions, serves as a visual indicator of its oxidation state, aiding in endpoint detection during titrations. Its compatibility with common redox indicators like ferroin further simplifies procedural workflows. The 1 L packaging is ideal for laboratories with moderate to high sample throughput, reducing the frequency of replenishment while ensuring minimal exposure to atmospheric moisture or contaminants. Each batch undergoes rigorous quality control to verify concentration and purity, with certificates of analysis provided for traceability. For optimal performance, store the solution in a cool, dark place and handle it with standard laboratory glassware to avoid contamination or accidental reduction.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this Cerium(IV) sulfate volumetric solution?
The solution remains stable for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored unopened in its original container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Once opened, use within 6 months for best accuracy.
2. Can this solution be used for titrating organic compounds?
Yes, it is effective for titrating organic compounds with reducible functional groups, such as phenols, amines, and aldehydes, provided the reaction kinetics are favorable and the endpoint is clearly detectable with a suitable indicator.
3. Is this solution compatible with automatic titrators?
The solution is fully compatible with automatic titrators, as its standardized concentration and stable oxidation state ensure consistent performance in automated systems. Ensure the titrator’s tubing and electrodes are compatible with sulfuric acid-based solutions.
4. What precautions should be taken while handling this solution?
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat, as the solution contains sulfuric acid. Avoid inhalation of vapors and ensure proper ventilation in the workspace.
5. How should the solution be disposed of after use?
Neutralize the solution with a suitable base (e.g., sodium hydroxide) to a pH of 6–8 before disposal, following local environmental regulations for chemical waste. Do not dispose of it directly into drains or general waste streams.
