Description
Bismuth subcarbonate is an inorganic bismuth salt of minimum 97,5 % purity in USP quality. Its empirical formula is (BiO)₂CO₃, with a molar mass of 509,97 g/mol and a density of 6,86 g/cm³. The compound is identified by CAS number 5892-10-4 and EG number 227-567-9 High density and defined purity make it suitable for pharmaceutical-related laboratory work, inorganic synthesis and analytical applications that call for a USP-aligned bismuth carbonate basic salt. Product from manufacturer Carl ROTH supports formulation trials, reference preparations and wet-chemical procedures where batch consistency matters. Laboratories in pharmacopoeia testing, materials chemistry and quality control can incorporate this reagent into protocols that specify bismuth subcarbonate. Standard chemical hygiene applies when weighing and transferring the dense powder into vessels or media.

Questions about Bismuth Subcarbonat, min. 97,5 %, USP, 100 g, plastic
What is this article?
Bismuth Subcarbonat, min. 97,5 %, USP, 100 g, plastic 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.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Inorganic chemicals. The sub-category is Inorganic salts. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
Shelves beside this one are Metals, elements & oxides and Nanomaterials & quantum dots.
What should I check before I order?
The technical information on this page is the manufacturer's sheet. Read that, not a rewritten specification.
When this page shows a safety data sheet, use that manufacturer file. Hazard text does not belong in the sales description. For a pack size, a grade or a certificate that is not on the page, send a quote request or contact the team.
