Description
Molybdenum(VI) oxide ROTI®METIC 99,98 % (3N₈) is a high-purity inorganic reagent with CAS number 1313-27-5 and empirical formula MoO₃. It has a molar mass of 143,94 g/mol, a density of 4,7 g/cm³ and a boiling point of 1155 °C, giving clear physical constants for stoichiometric calculations and process documentation. The grade is ROTI®METIC purity of 99,98 % (3N₈) suits work that needs low impurity levels, including catalyst preparation, ceramic and electronic materials studies, and conversion into other molybdenum compounds. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, this oxide is a practical molybdenum(VI) source for research and routine laboratory use. Scientists employ it as a precursor in solid-state and thin-film chemistry and in specialised analytical protocols. The compact pack supports economical method development while the stated molar mass, density and boiling point aid reproducible formulation and reporting across catalysis, inorganic synthesis and materials characterisation workflows.

Questions about Molybdenum(VI) oxide, ROTI®METIC 99,98 % (3N8), 5 g, plastic
What is this article?
Molybdenum(VI) oxide, ROTI®METIC 99,98 % (3N8), 5 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Metals, elements & oxides, inside Inorganic chemicals, in Lab chemicals.
Metals, elements and oxides are the element itself or its oxide, sold as powder, shot, foil or wire. Purity and particle size are both the specification. A 99 percent powder and a 99.999 percent shot of the same element are different articles. Many are reactive to air or to water.
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.
Which category should I open next?
