Description
Calcium formate is an inorganic carboxylate salt supplied at minimum 98 % purity in an extra pure grade, with CAS number 544-17-2 and empirical formula C₂H₂CaO₄. The compound has a molar mass of 130,12 g/mol and a density of 2,02 g/cm³, providing a compact solid form convenient for weighing and solution preparation in the laboratory. Extra pure quality supports analytical and preparative applications that require a well-defined calcium source based on the formate anion. EG number 208-863-7 identifies the substance under European chemical inventory rules. Typical laboratory uses include salt metathesis, formulation studies and as a reagent or additive in aqueous systems that benefit from the calcium–formate combination. The high density and solid presentation aid accurate dosing, while the stated purity helps maintain consistency across batches in research and quality-controlled environments that rely on this simple dicarboxylate salt.

Questions about Calcium formate, min. 98 %, extra pure, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Calcium formate, min. 98 %, extra pure, 500 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.
