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 Oxide 500 grams
Aluminum oxide, often referred to as alumina, is a chemical compound made up of aluminum and oxygen atoms (Al2O3). It occurs naturally in various minerals, including corundum and bauxite. It is one of the most widely used compounds, valued for its hardness, strength, and resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
Ammonium Acetate 25kgs
Ammonium acetate is a chemical compound with the formula NH4CH3CO2. It is a white, crystalline solid with a vinegar-like odor. It is commonly used in various laboratory applications, such as in molecular biology and analytical chemistry. It can act as a source of acetate ion in reactions and is often used as a buffer solution in biochemical and molecular biology research. Additionally, it is sometimes used in the manufacture of other chemicals and as a food additive.
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.
