Hydrochloric Acid AR 2.5L

About Hydrochloric Acid AR 2.5L

Hydrochloric Acid AR is an analytical reagent-grade solution of hydrogen chloride gas dissolved in water. It is a strong inorganic acid widely used in analytical chemistry, laboratory testing, titration, pH adjustment, and chemical preparation. It is commonly used for acid-base analysis, sample digestion, cleaning of suitable laboratory equipment, and preparation of chloride-containing solutions. The AR grade indicates that the reagent is intended to meet defined analytical quality specifications, subject to the manufacturers product documentation. Hydrochloric acid is typically a clear, colourless liquid with a sharp, pungent odour. Concentrated solutions release irritating fumes and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage. It reacts with bases, certain metals, and incompatible chemicals. Handle it in a well-ventilated laboratory or fume hood using suitable protective equipment. Store it in a compatible, tightly closed container away from bases, oxidizing agents, and reactive metals. The exact assay and physical properties depend on the concentration supplied, so consult the product label and Safety Data Sheet.
