Description
2-Nitroethanol is a short-chain nitro alcohol supplied at a minimum purity of 95 % for laboratory chemical and biochemical use. The compound has the empirical formula C₂H₅NO₃, a molar mass of 91,06 g/mol, a density of 1,27 g/cm³, and CAS number 625-48-9, providing a complete identity set for weighing, volume conversion, and documentation. It is Density and molar-mass values support accurate charge calculations whether the material is handled by mass or approximated by volume under controlled conditions. Nitroethanol derivatives are frequently employed as compact building blocks in the construction of more functionalised aliphatic structures. This material from manufacturer Carl ROTH pairs a practical small pack with transparent physicochemical data so laboratories can plan reactions and inventory with confidence. Clear CAS, formula, purity, and density information simplifies traceability and batch records. offers a balanced working quantity for research environments that require reliable access to 2-nitroethanol.

Questions about 2-Nitroethanol, min. 95 %, 25 g
What is this article?
2-Nitroethanol, min. 95 %, 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Analytical grade solvents (p.a.), inside Solvents, in Lab chemicals.
An analytical-grade solvent, often marked p.a., has impurity limits tight enough for classical analysis and for preparing reagents. It is not automatically low enough in UV absorbance for HPLC, and it is not dry enough for a water-sensitive reaction. The grade is the purchase.
A solvent dissolves. The grade says which impurities are low enough for the method. Analytical grade is the ordinary pure solvent. HPLC and LC-MS grades limit the absorbance and the ions that would become peaks or background. A dry solvent has had water removed. A deuterated solvent is for NMR, where the hydrogen signal would otherwise drown the sample. Technical grade is for cleaning and for synthesis that does not need a chromatogram. Identity is on PubChem. Names follow IUPAC. Hazards follow ECHA, the CLP Regulation and REACH.
