Product Overview

This 0.5M (0.5N) standardized hydrochloric acid solution is a precisely calibrated reagent designed for laboratory applications requiring accurate acid-base titrations and pH adjustments. The solution is prepared using high-purity hydrochloric acid diluted to a molarity of 0.5M, ensuring consistency and reliability in analytical procedures. The standardization process guarantees that the concentration is verified, making it suitable for quantitative analysis where precision is critical. The solution is free from impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions, ensuring clean and reproducible results. Packaged in a durable, leak-proof container, it maintains stability and prevents contamination during storage. The analytical grade designation indicates that it meets strict quality control standards, making it ideal for use in research, quality control, and educational laboratories. The solution is ready to use, eliminating the need for further dilution or preparation, which saves time and reduces the risk of errors in experimental setups.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this 0.5M hydrochloric acid solution?

The shelf life is typically 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture.

2. Can this solution be used for preparing lower concentrations of HCl?

Yes, this 0.5M solution can be diluted with deionized water to prepare lower concentrations, provided the dilution is performed accurately using volumetric glassware.

3. Is this hydrochloric acid solution compatible with glass containers?

Yes, it is compatible with borosilicate glass containers, which are resistant to corrosion from dilute hydrochloric acid solutions.

4. What precautions should be taken while handling this solution?

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, goggles, and a lab coat, and handle the solution in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of fumes.

5. How should this solution be disposed of after use?

The solution should be neutralized with a suitable base, such as sodium bicarbonate, before disposal, following local environmental and safety regulations for chemical waste.
