Product Overview
Lithium sulfate monohydrate (Li₂SO₄·H₂O) is a high-purity, water-soluble inorganic compound with 99% assay, designed for demanding laboratory applications. This crystalline powder exhibits excellent thermal stability and consistent composition, ensuring reliable results in chemical synthesis and analytical procedures. The monohydrate form maintains precise stoichiometry, making it particularly suitable for reactions requiring controlled lithium ion availability. Its low hygroscopicity compared to anhydrous forms enhances handling convenience and storage stability under standard laboratory conditions. The reagent-grade purity guarantees minimal trace metal contamination, critical for sensitive analytical techniques. The compound’s defined water content (monohydrate form) eliminates variability in hydration state that can affect experimental reproducibility. With its balanced solubility profile, this lithium sulfate grade dissolves completely in aqueous solutions while maintaining solution stability over extended periods.
FAQs
1. What is the exact chemical formula of this lithium sulfate product?
This product has the chemical formula Li₂SO₄·H₂O, indicating it contains one water molecule per lithium sulfate unit.
2. How does the monohydrate form differ from anhydrous lithium sulfate?
The monohydrate contains 13.86% water by weight, which affects its molecular weight and solubility characteristics compared to the anhydrous form.
3. What is the typical shelf life when stored properly?
When kept in a tightly sealed container at room temperature, this product maintains its specified purity for at least 3 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Can this grade be used for electrochemical applications?
The 99% purity makes it suitable for most electrochemical studies, though ultra-high purity grades may be preferred for specialized battery research.
5. What safety precautions should be taken when handling?
Standard laboratory precautions apply: use in well-ventilated areas, wear appropriate PPE, and avoid inhalation or direct contact with skin and eyes.
