FAQs

What is the concentration of the nitric acid solution and how does it compare to concentrated nitric acid?

This product is a 10% (v/v) nitric acid solution, which is significantly safer to handle than concentrated nitric acid (which is typically around 68–70% by weight). The diluted solution reduces the risks associated with handling highly corrosive, concentrated acid.

What is the main use for this diluted nitric acid solution in laboratory applications?

The 10% nitric acid solution is commonly used for general laboratory tasks, such as chemical analysis, cleaning procedures (e.g., acid cleaning of glassware), acidification of samples, and as a reagent in various laboratory processes requiring controlled acidity.

Why is this product packaged in a 20 L cubitainer and is it suitable for large‑scale use?

The 20 L cubitainer packaging is ideal for laboratories or industrial settings requiring larger quantities of nitric acid solution. It offers bulk storage, reduces the frequency of orders, and allows for convenient dispensing, especially in high‑volume applications.

Can this nitric acid solution be used for acid cleaning or only chemical analysis?

Yes, this 10% nitric acid solution is widely used for both acid cleaning (such as cleaning laboratory glassware) and in chemical analysis tasks that require controlled acidity. Its diluted form makes it safer for handling during cleaning and preparation procedures.

What precautions should be taken when handling this nitric acid solution?

Even though this solution is diluted, nitric acid is still highly corrosive. Appropriate PPE, such as gloves, goggles, and lab coats, should always be worn. Work in a well‑ventilated area or under a fume hood to avoid inhaling vapors. Always consult the SDS for more detailed safety instructions.
