Product Name – Hydrochloric acid, 30% NORMATOM® high-purity acids
Quantity/Pack Size – 1 L
Form – Liquid
Grade – High-purity
Application – Analytical chemistry, synthesis, pH adjustment
Product Overview
This 30% hydrochloric acid from NORMATOM® represents the gold standard in high-purity acids for laboratory environments. Engineered through advanced distillation processes, it maintains exceptional consistency with minimal metallic impurities (typically <0.1 ppm for most contaminants), making it particularly suitable for trace analysis and sensitive chemical reactions. The solution's precise 30% concentration (approximately 9.8 M) provides optimal reactivity while maintaining handling safety compared to fuming concentrations. Its colorless appearance and absence of particulate matter ensure reliable performance in spectrophotometric applications. The acid's low iron content (typically <0.05 ppm) prevents interference in redox titrations and colorimetric assays. Packaged in HDPE bottles with tamper-evident seals, this product maintains stability for up to 24 months when stored properly. The container's design includes a secondary containment feature to prevent accidental spills during handling. For laboratories requiring consistent batch-to-batch performance, this NORMATOM® hydrochloric acid undergoes rigorous quality control, including ICP-MS analysis for 23 trace elements and Karl Fischer titration for water content verification.
FAQs
1. What is the exact molarity of this 30% hydrochloric acid solution?
The 30% concentration corresponds to approximately 9.8 Molar (9.8 mol/L) at 20°C, though the exact value may vary slightly with temperature and pressure conditions.
2. How does this compare to technical grade hydrochloric acid?
This NORMATOM® high-purity grade contains significantly lower levels of heavy metals (typically <0.1 ppm for most contaminants) and organic impurities compared to technical grade, which may contain up to 10 ppm of various impurities.
3. What type of container is recommended for long-term storage?
For extended storage beyond the original packaging, use PTFE-lined glass bottles or HDPE containers with vented caps to prevent pressure buildup from potential hydrogen gas evolution.
4. Are there any special handling requirements for this concentration?
While 30% is less hazardous than fuming concentrations, it still requires handling in a well-ventilated fume hood with proper PPE including acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and lab coat due to its corrosive nature.
5. What’s the typical shelf life when unopened?
When stored in its original sealed container at room temperature (15-25°C), the product maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
