Ammonium Hydroxide 25% 10L
Detailed Uses:
pH Adjustment:
Ammonium hydroxide is a strong base and can be used to increase the pH of solutions, which is crucial in titration, buffer preparation, and optimizing conditions for biochemical reactions.
Complexation:
It acts as a complexant, forming stable complexes with certain metal ions, which is useful in qualitative analysis and complexometric titrations.
Precipitation Reactions:
In qualitative analysis, ammonium hydroxide is used to precipitate certain metal hydroxides, allowing for the separation and identification of different metal ions in a solution.
Sample Preparation:
It can be used to dissolve some organic materials or prepare samples for further analysis, making it a useful reagent in analytical chemistry.
Analytical Procedures:
Ammonium hydroxide is commonly used in analytical procedures like titration to determine the concentration of substances in a solution.
Cleaning Agent:
Due to its ability to dissolve certain residues and its alkaline properties, it can be used to clean glass, porcelain, and stainless steel.
Other Applications:
It can be used to dissolve silver oxide residues (e.g., from Tollens’ reagent) and in the identification of pharmaceutical compounds.
