Product Overview
This potassium dichromate volumetric solution is a high-purity, pre-standardized 1N (0.166 mol/L) reagent designed for precise redox titrations in analytical laboratories. Formulated under stringent quality controls, the AVS TITRINORM® grade ensures exceptional accuracy, eliminating the need for time-consuming standardization procedures. The solution maintains long-term stability, minimizing degradation risks that could compromise titration results. Its deep orange-red color serves as a visual indicator of concentration integrity, while the aqueous formulation guarantees homogeneous distribution for consistent performance. The reagent’s strong oxidizing properties make it ideal for determining reducing agents like iron(II), sulfites, or organic compounds in quantitative analyses. Packaged in a chemically resistant container, it prevents contamination and evaporation, preserving the solution’s certified molarity. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing to meet international volumetric analysis standards, providing researchers with reliable, reproducible data. The solution’s compatibility with standard glassware and automated titration systems enhances workflow efficiency in high-throughput environments.
FAQs
1. What is the exact molarity of this potassium dichromate solution?
The solution is precisely standardized to 0.166 mol/L, equivalent to 1N (normal) concentration, as certified by the AVS TITRINORM® quality assurance process.
2. Can this solution be used directly without further dilution or standardization?
Yes, the solution is pre-standardized and ready for immediate use in titrations, though some protocols may require dilution depending on the specific application requirements.
3. What materials are compatible with this solution for storage and handling?
The solution is compatible with borosilicate glass, HDPE, and PTFE materials. Avoid prolonged contact with metals or rubber to prevent potential contamination or degradation.
4. How should this solution be stored to maintain its certified concentration?
Store the tightly sealed container at 15–25°C, protected from direct sunlight and moisture. Avoid temperature fluctuations to prevent condensation or evaporation that could alter the concentration.
5. What alternatives exist if this specific concentration isn’t suitable for my application?
Lower concentrations (e.g., 0.0166M or 0.05N) can be prepared by serial dilution using deionized water, while higher concentrations may require solid potassium dichromate dissolution with proper safety precautions.
