Product Overview
Zinc carbonate basic is a high-purity (97%) laboratory reagent with a guaranteed zinc content exceeding 58%, ensuring reliable performance in chemical applications. This fine white powder is chemically stable under standard conditions, making it suitable for precise analytical testing and synthesis processes. Its controlled particle size distribution enhances solubility and reaction efficiency, while the low impurity profile minimizes interference in sensitive experiments. The compound’s basic nature allows for versatile use in neutralization reactions, precipitation methods, and as a precursor for zinc-based compounds. Packaged in airtight containers to prevent moisture absorption, this reagent maintains its integrity during storage and handling. The 97% purity grade meets stringent laboratory standards, providing consistent results in qualitative and quantitative analyses. Its compatibility with common organic and inorganic solvents further expands its utility in diverse chemical protocols.
FAQs
1. What is the exact zinc content in this zinc carbonate basic?
The product contains a minimum of 58% zinc by weight, with the remaining composition consisting of carbonate and basic impurities within the specified 97% purity range.
2. Can this reagent be used in aqueous solutions without decomposition?
While zinc carbonate basic has limited solubility in water, it remains stable in neutral to slightly alkaline aqueous solutions but may decompose in strongly acidic conditions.
3. What is the typical shelf life when stored properly?
When kept in a tightly sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight, the reagent maintains its specified purity for at least 24 months from the date of manufacture.
4. Are there any known incompatibilities with other lab chemicals?
The compound reacts with strong acids and oxidizing agents, so it should be stored separately from these substances to prevent accidental reactions.
5. How does the basic nature affect its applications compared to neutral zinc carbonate?
The basic form offers enhanced reactivity in certain precipitation reactions and provides better buffering capacity in specific synthesis processes compared to neutral zinc carbonate.
