Ph. Eur. specifications. This reagent is particularly valued for its stability and consistency, minimizing variability in experimental outcomes. The hexahydrate form provides a balanced moisture content, optimizing handling and storage. Whether used as an oxidizing agent, catalyst, or in qualitative analysis, this product delivers precision and reproducibility. Store in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Ideal for laboratories requiring stringent quality control, this reagent supports a wide range of chemical processes without compromising integrity.
FAQs
1. What is the solubility of Iron(III) chloride hexahydrate in water?
It is highly soluble in water, with a solubility of 92 g/100 mL at 20°C, forming a yellowish-brown solution.
2. Is this reagent compatible with organic solvents?
It is soluble in ethanol and glycerol but may decompose in some organic solvents. Always check compatibility before use.
3. What alternatives exist for Iron(III) chloride anhydrous?
For anhydrous applications, consider Iron(III) chloride anhydrous (FeCl₃), which lacks water molecules but requires careful handling due to hygroscopicity.
4. How should this product be stored for long-term stability?
Store in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container to prevent moisture absorption and hydrolysis.
5. Does this meet USP or NF standards?
This product complies with ACS and Ph. Eur. standards but is not certified for USP/NF applications. Verify requirements before use.
