This chemical compound is categorized as an inorganic acid with a very low pH, which requires precaution before using it as well as safe handling; Ideally, it should be physically stored away from materials such as water, organic materials, metals, amines, bases, and excess heat, since it can generate undesirable reactions.
Sulfuric Acid ACS reagent is an exceptionally acidic chemical compound with a pH value of 0.3 (49 g/l, H₂O, 25 °C). Therefore, one of its primaries uses in the chemical industry is the removal of impurities, complicated cleaning of metals, and synthesis of detergents, explosives, and fertilizers.
Sulfuric Acid ACS reagent is classified as highly corrosive, and it might cause skin burns and eye damage if not used with precaution.
Sulfuric Acid 96% ACS Reagent Grade Solution is concentrated H2SO4, an inorganic acid with CAS number 7664-93-9. It comes as a liquid with an assay of 95.0 to 98.0%, and the page lists the grade as ACS Grade. The pH is very low. The page gives it as 0.3 at 49 g/l in water at 25 °C. It’s highly corrosive and can cause skin burns and eye damage, so treat it with respect. Keep it away from water, organic materials, metals, amines, bases and excess heat. Paperwork is easy to find. The Product Manuals list includes a Safety Data Sheet, a Technical Data Sheet, and statements covering allergens, BPA, non irradiation, PFAS/PFOS, TSE/BSE and animal testing. Certificates of Analysis are listed too.
Most people reach for this acid for metal processing, cleaning metals, battery acid, fertilizer work, detergent synthesis and removing impurities. The trouble starts when the grade is wrong, the paperwork isn’t there, or your supplier can’t ship hazmat in the size you need. Lab Alley takes that off your plate. The Safety Data Sheet, Technical Data Sheet and Certificates of Analysis are on this page, sizes run from 500 ml up to 55 gallons, and we handle hazmat shipping from start to finish. Pick your size and add it to your cart, or set up Autoship if you use it regularly. Orders above 1L have special shipping requirements, so contact customer service first. Need a bigger volume?
