Product Overview
Hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 25% concentration is a high-purity Reagent Grade solution compliant with Ph. Eur. standards, ensuring reliability for critical laboratory applications. This clear, colorless liquid offers consistent acidity, making it ideal for precise titrations, pH adjustments, and analytical procedures where accuracy is paramount. The reagent-grade purity minimizes impurities, reducing interference in sensitive reactions. Its stable formulation ensures long shelf life when stored properly in a cool, ventilated area away from incompatible materials. The 5 L pack size provides ample volume for frequent use while maintaining cost efficiency. As a strong mineral acid, it dissolves metals, reacts with bases, and serves as a fundamental reagent in qualitative and quantitative analysis. The Ph. Eur. certification guarantees adherence to European Pharmacopoeia standards, making it suitable for applications requiring stringent quality control. Always handle with appropriate PPE due to its corrosive nature.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of 25% Hydrochloric Acid Reagent Grade?
When stored in a tightly sealed original container at room temperature, this HCl solution remains stable for 2-3 years from the date of manufacture.
2. Is this HCl solution compatible with glass containers for long-term storage?
Yes, it can be stored in glass containers, but ensure they are resistant to acid corrosion and have proper ventilation to prevent pressure buildup.
3. What alternatives exist for applications requiring lower HCl concentrations?
Diluted solutions (e.g., 10% or 5% HCl) can be prepared from this 25% concentrate using deionized water, following standard dilution protocols.
4. How should accidental spills of this acid be neutralized?
Spills can be neutralized with sodium bicarbonate or calcium carbonate, followed by careful disposal as per local hazardous waste regulations.
5. Does this product meet ISO standards for laboratory reagents?
While primarily Ph. Eur. compliant, its high purity aligns with general ISO reagent-grade requirements for most analytical applications.
