Product Overview
This 0.5M (1N) oxalic acid solution is a precisely standardized reagent designed for laboratory use, offering consistent performance in analytical applications. The solution is prepared using high-purity oxalic acid dihydrate dissolved in deionized water, ensuring minimal impurities that could interfere with sensitive reactions. Its analytical grade classification guarantees reliable results in quantitative procedures, particularly in redox titrations where precise molar concentrations are critical. The solution maintains stability under standard laboratory conditions, though it should be stored away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent degradation. The clear, colorless appearance indicates proper formulation without particulate contamination. Compatible with most glass and plastic labware, this solution integrates seamlessly into existing protocols without requiring special handling beyond standard acid safety precautions. The 0.5M concentration provides an optimal balance between reactivity and ease of use, eliminating the need for dilution in most applications while maintaining sufficient strength for effective metal oxide removal in cleaning procedures.
FAQs
1. What is the shelf life of this oxalic acid solution when stored properly?
The solution remains stable for 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original tightly sealed container at room temperature, protected from light and moisture.
2. Can this solution be used for cleaning laboratory glassware?
While primarily formulated for analytical work, the solution can effectively remove metal oxide deposits from glassware when used as part of a standardized cleaning protocol.
3. What safety precautions should be taken when handling this solution?
Standard acid handling procedures apply: wear nitrile gloves, safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated area or fume hood. Neutralize spills with sodium bicarbonate before cleanup.
4. Is this solution compatible with automatic titrators?
The solution’s precise molar concentration and low particulate content make it suitable for use with most automatic titration systems without requiring additional filtration.
5. How does the concentration compare to commercial oxalic acid crystals?
This 0.5M solution contains 63.03g of oxalic acid dihydrate per liter, providing a ready-to-use alternative to preparing solutions from solid crystals.
