Description
Formic acid is a simple carboxylic acid offered at a minimum purity of 85 % in pure grade, with empirical formula CH₂O₂ and CAS number 64-18-6. It has a molar mass of 46,02 g/mol and a density of 1,19 g/cm³, giving a dense liquid suited to synthesis, sample preparation and analytical workflows. The boiling point is 106 °C and the flash point is 65 °C, data that support safe handling and process planning in the laboratory. This variant is Formic acid from manufacturer Carl ROTH is further identified by EG number 200-579-1 and UN number 1779. In organic chemistry it is applied as a reducing and formylating reagent, as a mobile-phase or modifier component in chromatography, and for controlled acidification where a defined concentration is required. The combination of stated purity, clear physicochemical parameters and glass packaging helps laboratories maintain reproducible conditions in research, method development and quality-control settings that rely on concentrated formic acid as a standard reagent.

Questions about Formic acid , min. 85 %, pure, 1 l, glass
What is this article?
Formic acid , min. 85 %, pure, 1 l, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
