Sodium oxalate (Na₂C₂O₄), also known as disodium oxalate, is a white, crystalline solid with a variety of applications, including some specific uses in laboratories. Here’s a breakdown of its key properties, applications, and safety considerations:
Properties:
- Appearance: White crystalline solid
- Odor: Odorless
- Solubility: Low solubility in water, but increases with temperature
- Melting point: Decomposes above 290 °C (554 °F)
Description
Uses of Sodium Oxalate
- Standardizing Potassium Permanganate Solutions (Titration):
- In titrimetric analysis, a technique to determine the concentration of an unknown solution, sodium oxalate acts as a primary standard. This means it has a precisely known and highly reliable purity.
- Researchers use sodium oxalate solutions with a known concentration to standardize (determine the exact concentration) of potassium permanganate (KMnO₄) solutions. Potassium permanganate is a strong oxidizing agent used in many titrations.
- By accurately knowing the concentration of the sodium oxalate solution, researchers can then calculate the concentration of the potassium permanganate solution they are using for titrations. This ensures accurate measurements in subsequent experiments.
- Precipitation Reactions for Metal Ion Separation and Identification:
- Sodium oxalate can be a valuable tool in qualitative analysis experiments, which aim to identify the components present in an unknown solution.
- When sodium oxalate solution is added to a solution containing specific metal ions, it can trigger the formation of insoluble oxalate salts as precipitates (solid particles formed from a solution).
- Since different metal ions form oxalate salts with varying colors and solubilities, this precipitation reaction helps researchers separate and identify the specific metal ions present in the unknown solution based on the observed precipitate characteristics.

Aluminum Carbonate 250g
Aluminum carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(CO3)3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. Aluminum carbonate is not commonly encountered in pure form due to its high instability, especially in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. Instead, it tends to decompose into aluminum hydroxide and carbon dioxide when exposed to moisture or acidic conditions.
Aluminum Nitrate 500gm
Aluminum nitrate is a chemical compound with the formula Al(NO3)3. It's a salt composed of aluminum and nitrate ions. It's commonly encountered as a hydrate with varying numbers of water molecules associated with each aluminum nitrate formula unit. It's soluble in water and is often used in various industrial processes, including as a mordant in dyeing fabrics and in the production of aluminum oxide. Additionally, it's used in some chemical reactions and as a component in some types of rocket propellants.
Aluminum Potassium Sulphate 500gm
Aluminum Potassium Sulphate, commonly known as potassium alum or potash alum, is a chemical compound with the formula KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O. It is a type of alum, a double sulfate salt, and is typically found in its dodecahydrate form. Here are some key points about this compound:
Physical Properties:
- Appearance: Colorless, transparent crystals or white powder.
- Solubility: Soluble in water but insoluble in alcohol.
- Melting Point: Decomposes at high temperatures before melting.
Chemical Properties:
- Molecular Formula: KAl(SO₄)₂·12H₂O
- Molecular Weight: 474.39 g/mol (for the dodecahydrate form)
- Acidity: It is slightly acidic in aqueous solution.
Anhydrous Aluminum Chloride
Anhydrous aluminum chloride, often represented as AlCl3, is a chemical compound composed of aluminum and chlorine. "Anhydrous" means it lacks water molecules in its structure. It's a white or pale yellow solid that is highly hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs moisture from the air. This property makes handling it a bit tricky since it can form a solution with water vapor in the air, turning into a fuming liquid.
