Description
Calcium carbide is a technical-grade inorganic compound with the empirical formula CaC₂, CAS number 75-20-7, molar mass 64,10 g/mol and density 2,22 g/cm³. The coarser particle-size fraction suits applications where slower dissolution, staged addition or reduced dusting is preferred during handling. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product is aimed at technical laboratory and process use rather than analytical-grade requirements. Technical calcium carbide is employed in preparative chemistry, acetylene generation contexts and related carbide-based reactions. The tinplate container supports secure storage and dispensing of. Researchers and technicians can apply this grade in synthesis, materials development and teaching laboratories that need CaC₂ with a defined 7–20 mm granulometry for reproducible practical work.

Questions about Calcium carbide, techn., 7-20 mm, 500 g, tinplate
What is this article?
Calcium carbide, techn., 7-20 mm, 500 g, 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.
