Description
n-Valeric acid is a straight-chain carboxylic acid offered at a minimum purity of 98 %, identified by CAS number 109-52-4 and empirical formula C₅H₁₀O₂. The molar mass is 102,14 g/mol and the density is 0,939 g/cm³. It boils at 184 °C and has a flash point of 84 °C, providing a clear physicochemical profile for laboratory handling and process planning. Supplied in a 250 ml glass pack, this reagent supports organic synthesis, esterification studies, and analytical applications that require a defined C₅ fatty acid. Molar mass, density, and boiling point data facilitate identity confirmation and method setup. The product is available from manufacturer Carl ROTH for everyday research and quality-control use. With EG number 203-677-2, n-valeric acid fits workflows in preparative chemistry and reference material preparation. Documented purity and physical constants help laboratories maintain traceable records when the acid is used as a starting material, intermediate, or analytical standard in chemical and life-science environments.

Questions about n-Valeric acid, min. 98 %, 250 ml, glass
What is this article?
n-Valeric acid, min. 98 %, 250 ml, glass is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
