Product Overview
Cobalt(II) Chloride Hexahydrate 97% Extra Pure is a highly refined, pink crystalline compound widely used in laboratory settings for its reliable performance in analytical and synthetic applications. This extra-pure grade ensures minimal impurities, making it suitable for precise chemical reactions, qualitative analysis, and research-grade experiments. The hexahydrate form provides excellent solubility in water and polar solvents, facilitating easy preparation of cobalt-based solutions. Its hygroscopic nature requires proper storage to maintain stability, while its distinct color change upon dehydration makes it useful for moisture detection. The compound is chemically stable under standard conditions but should be handled with care due to its toxic properties. Ideal for researchers and chemists, this high-purity cobalt chloride delivers consistent results in titrations, catalysis, and inorganic synthesis.
