Product Overview
Hydrochloric Acid Solution, N/10, is a precisely standardized liquid reagent designed for accurate volumetric analysis in laboratory settings. This solution is formulated with a concentration of 0.1N (Normality), ensuring reliable and reproducible results in titrations, pH adjustments, and other analytical procedures. The solution is prepared using high-purity hydrochloric acid and deionized water, adhering to strict quality control measures to maintain consistency and minimize impurities. Its clear, colorless appearance indicates high purity, making it suitable for applications where precision is critical. The solution is stable under normal storage conditions, though it should be kept in a tightly sealed container to prevent contamination or concentration changes due to evaporation. Compatible with most standard laboratory glassware, it does not react adversely with common materials like borosilicate glass or PTFE. For safety, always handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves and goggles, and use in a well-ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhalation of vapors. This N/10 Hydrochloric Acid Solution is an essential reagent for laboratories conducting quantitative chemical analysis, offering dependable performance for routine and specialized testing.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of N/10 Hydrochloric Acid Solution?
The shelf life is typically 12-24 months when stored in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Always check the label for the manufacturer’s expiration date.
2. Can this solution be used for food or pharmaceutical testing?
This N/10 Hydrochloric Acid Solution is a laboratory-grade reagent and is not certified for food, pharmaceutical, or clinical applications. For such uses, analytical or pharmaceutical-grade acids are recommended.
3. How should I dispose of unused or expired Hydrochloric Acid Solution?
Dispose of the solution according to local chemical waste regulations. Neutralize with a base like sodium bicarbonate before disposal, and avoid pouring it down drains or into the environment.
4. Is this solution compatible with plastic containers?
While it can be stored in HDPE or PTFE containers for short periods, prolonged storage in plastic may cause leaching or degradation. Glass containers with PTFE-lined caps are ideal for long-term storage.
5. What precautions should I take while handling this solution?
Wear chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Work in a fume hood or well-ventilated area to avoid inhaling vapors, and rinse spills immediately with plenty of water.
