Product Overview

NITRIC ACID 0.1MOL/L (0.1N) is a precisely standardized solution designed for laboratory applications requiring consistent acidity and reactivity. This reagent-grade nitric acid is diluted to a 0.1 molar concentration (0.1N), ensuring reliability in titrations, pH adjustments, and analytical procedures. The solution is prepared using high-purity nitric acid, minimizing impurities that could interfere with sensitive experiments. Its clear, colorless appearance indicates purity, while the standardized concentration eliminates the need for further dilution in most protocols. The 1000ML pack size provides sufficient volume for repeated use in academic, research, or quality control settings. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances like bases or organic materials to maintain stability. This solution is ideal for procedures demanding precise acid concentrations, such as redox titrations or sample digestion, where accuracy is critical. The laboratory-grade designation ensures compliance with common analytical standards, making it a versatile choice for routine and specialized applications.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of 0.1N Nitric Acid?

The solution remains stable for 12–24 months when stored in its original tightly sealed container at room temperature, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Degradation may occur if exposed to contaminants or improper conditions.

2. Can this solution be used for metal digestion?

While 0.1N Nitric Acid is mild compared to concentrated forms, it can dissolve certain reactive metals like zinc or magnesium. For complete digestion of resistant metals, higher concentrations (e.g., 1N or above) are typically required.

3. Is this nitric acid solution compatible with glassware?

Yes, 0.1N Nitric Acid is safe for standard borosilicate glassware. However, prolonged exposure may etch glass surfaces over time. Rinse equipment thoroughly with distilled water after use to prevent corrosion.

4. How should I dispose of leftover 0.1N Nitric Acid?

Neutralize the solution with a weak base like sodium bicarbonate until pH reaches 6–8, then dilute with water before disposal according to local hazardous waste regulations. Avoid pouring untreated acid down drains.

5. What alternatives exist for 0.1N Nitric Acid in titrations?

For acid-base titrations, 0.1N Hydrochloric Acid or Sulfuric Acid can substitute, though reaction mechanisms may differ. For redox titrations, alternatives like 0.1N Potassium Permanganate may be used depending on the analyte.
