FAQs
What is this 10% (v/v) phosphoric acid solution used for?
This ready-to-use aqueous solution of phosphoric acid (10% by volume) is designed for laboratory analytical procedures and standard methods testing. It reduces preparation time compared to concentrated acids and supports consistent concentration for working solutions in reagent-grade workflows.
What are the key chemical identifiers and packaging details?
The product has CAS numbers 7664-38-2 (phosphoric acid) and 7732-18-5 (water) and is supplied in a natural polyethylene bottle. It is typically offered in sizes such as 500 mL, 1 L, 4 L, 10 L and 20 L with a shelf life of about 24 months unopened.
What safety precautions should be observed when using this solution?
Although diluted, the solution is still corrosive and can cause skin burns and serious eye damage. Users must wear appropriate PPE (gloves, goggles, lab coat), ensure adequate ventilation, and consult the SDS for full hazard and handling information.
Is this solution ready for use or does it need further dilution?
This product is supplied as a 10% (v/v) phosphoric acid aqueous solution, meaning it is ready for laboratory use without further dilution unless your specific protocol requires it. That makes it convenient for analytical and research workflows where consistent concentration is needed.
How should this chemical be stored and maintained for optimal quality?
Store the bottle at ambient lab temperature (recommended 15 °C to 30 °C) and keep it tightly closed to avoid contamination or evaporation. Unopened containers typically have a 24-month shelf life. Use as directed and discard according to regulated chemical disposal practices.
