Questions about Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate, 25 g
What is this article?
Sodium 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate, 25 g 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.
