Product Overview

Titanium(III) chloride (20% w/v) in 2N hydrochloric acid is a highly specialized reagent designed for demanding laboratory applications where precise redox control is critical. This solution provides a stable source of Ti³⁺ ions, making it indispensable for titrations, inorganic synthesis, and analytical procedures requiring strong reducing agents. The AcroSeal® packaging ensures extended shelf life by minimizing exposure to moisture and atmospheric oxygen, which could otherwise compromise the solution’s potency. The 2N HCl matrix enhances solubility and maintains the titanium in its trivalent state, preventing oxidation to Ti⁴⁺. This formulation is particularly valued in quantitative analysis where accurate stoichiometry is essential. The reagent’s purity and consistent concentration eliminate variability in experimental results, making it a preferred choice for laboratories prioritizing reproducibility. Its compatibility with standard glassware and resistance to decomposition under typical lab conditions further enhance its practical utility. Whether used in volumetric analysis or as a precursor in complex inorganic syntheses, this solution delivers reliable performance without requiring additional purification steps.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of this Titanium(III) chloride solution?

The AcroSeal® packaging typically provides a 12-18 month shelf life when stored unopened at room temperature, though the actual stability depends on storage conditions and frequency of container opening.

2. Can this solution be used for gravimetric analysis?

While primarily employed in redox titrations, the solution’s precise Ti³⁺ concentration makes it suitable for certain gravimetric applications where titanium compounds are precipitated, provided proper standardization is performed.

3. What alternatives exist if this specific concentration is unavailable?

Solid titanium(III) chloride powder can be dissolved in hydrochloric acid to prepare solutions of varying concentrations, though this requires careful handling due to the compound’s hygroscopic nature and potential for oxidation.

4. How should this solution be stored to maintain stability?

Store the tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and strong oxidizing agents. The original AcroSeal® packaging should remain intact until use to prevent atmospheric contamination.

5. Is this solution compatible with standard borosilicate glassware?

Yes, the 2N HCl concentration is well within the tolerance limits of standard laboratory glassware, though prolonged storage in glass containers may lead to minor leaching of silicate ions over extended periods.
