Description
Calcium carbide is a technical-grade inorganic solid with empirical formula CaC₂, CAS number 75-20-7 and EG number 200-848-3. The material is supplied as particles in the 0,1–1 mm range with a molar mass of 64,10 g/mol and a density of 2,22 g/cm³. Typical use contexts include chemical synthesis, generation of acetylene under controlled conditions and other processes where CaC₂ serves as a reactive carbide source. Handling must respect the reactive nature of the solid and applicable laboratory safety practice. This grade from manufacturer Carl ROTH offers a practical pack size for preparative work and stock replenishment. Particle-size band, molar mass and density support documentation in experimental protocols, while the tinplate pack helps protect the contents during storage and transport prior to use in professional laboratory settings.

Questions about Calcium carbide, techn., 0,1-1 mm, 1 kg, tinplate
What is this article?
Calcium carbide, techn., 0,1-1 mm, 1 kg, tinplate is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Inorganic salts, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
An inorganic salt is an ionic solid, a chloride, a sulfate, a nitrate, a phosphate. The degree of hydration changes the mass that contains one mole of the ion. Analytical grade limits the foreign ions. A hydrate and the anhydrous salt are not interchangeable by weight.
An inorganic chemical is a salt, an acid or base in solid form, a metal, an oxide, or an element. The waters of hydration are part of the formula: a hydrate and an anhydrous salt are different masses for the same ion. Trace metals matter when the salt will be used in analysis. Nanomaterials add particle size to the specification. Look the substance up on PubChem. Hazard classes are on ECHA, under the CLP Regulation and REACH. Transport of the dangerous ones is explained by the UNECE.
