Product Overview
This 0.5N potassium hydroxide volumetric solution in methanol is a high-purity BAKER ANALYZED™ reagent designed for precise analytical applications. The methanol-based formulation ensures excellent solubility and stability for accurate titration results, particularly in non-aqueous systems. The solution undergoes rigorous quality control to maintain exact normality (0.5N), eliminating the need for standardization before use. Its low water content minimizes interference in moisture-sensitive reactions, while the reagent-grade purity guarantees consistent performance in critical analytical procedures. The solution is packaged in a 1L container with a secure seal to prevent contamination and evaporation, ensuring long-term stability. As a standardized volumetric solution, it eliminates the variability associated with manual preparation, saving time while improving reproducibility. The methanol solvent system makes it particularly suitable for titrations involving organic compounds where aqueous KOH would be ineffective. This product is manufactured under strict quality protocols to meet the demanding requirements of modern analytical laboratories.
FAQs
1. What is the exact concentration of this KOH solution?
The solution is precisely standardized to 0.5N (0.5 normal) concentration, verified through rigorous quality control procedures.
2. Can this solution be used for non-aqueous titrations?
Yes, the methanol solvent base makes it particularly suitable for non-aqueous titration applications where water would interfere with the reaction.
3. How should this solution be stored for maximum stability?
Store tightly sealed in its original container at room temperature, away from moisture and carbon dioxide sources which could alter the concentration.
4. Is this solution compatible with automatic titrators?
The solution is fully compatible with most automatic titration systems, though you may need to adjust dispensing parameters for methanol-based solutions.
5. What’s the difference between this and aqueous KOH solutions?
This methanol-based solution offers better solubility for organic compounds and eliminates water interference in certain reactions, unlike aqueous KOH solutions.
