Description
Zinc chloride ROTI®METIC 99,999 % (5N) is a high-purity inorganic salt with the empirical formula ZnCl₂ and CAS number 7646-85-7. It has a molar mass of 136,28 g/mol, a density of 2,91 g/cm³, and a boiling point of 732 °C, making it suitable for catalysis studies, materials preparation, and analytical or synthetic chemistry where very low impurity levels are required. UN number 2331 and EG number 231-592-0 support transport labelling and regulatory records. The ROTI®METIC specification from manufacturer Carl ROTH indicates 99,999 % purity for users who need tightly controlled zinc chloride feedstock. Known physical constants help when setting up methods, preparing solutions or melts, and documenting experimental conditions. HDPE packaging is practical for bench storage and transfer of the solid. With defined ultra-high purity, clear molecular and thermophysical data, and a compact pack size, this zinc chloride is a solid option for research and quality-focused laboratories working with high-purity ZnCl₂.

Questions about Zinc chloride, ROTI®METIC 99,999 % (5N), 5 g, HDPE
What is this article?
Zinc chloride, ROTI®METIC 99,999 % (5N), 5 g, HDPE 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.
