Description
Zinc acetate dihydrate is a high-purity zinc salt meeting a minimum assay of 99 % and Ph.Eur. quality expectations. Registered under CAS 5970-45-6 and EG nr. 209-170-2, it has the empirical formula Zn(CH₃COO)₂ · 2 H₂O, a molar mass of 219,49 g/mol and a density of 1,74 g/cm³. The dihydrate is a common source of soluble zinc(II) and acetate ions for pharmaceutical development, nutritional and analytical formulations, catalyst precursor work and general inorganic or coordination chemistry. Its pharmacopoeia orientation supports applications that reference Ph.Eur. monographs or comparable quality systems. Available from manufacturer Carl ROTH, the product provides transparent identity and physical-property data so users can match hydrate form, purity and handling needs. Typical uses include buffer and reagent preparation, metal-salt stock solutions and process trials where a defined zinc acetate dihydrate grade is specified for reproducibility and documentation.
This article belongs on Inorganic salts, in Inorganic chemicals.

Questions about Zinc acetate dihydrate, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Zinc acetate dihydrate, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., 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 Produits chimiques de laboratoire et industriels.
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 Produits chimiques de laboratoire et industriels.
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.
