CAS 7646-85-7: Zinc chloride

Zinc(II) chloride is used as a catalyst, as a dehydrating and condensing agent, soldering flux and metal etchant. It is also employed in preserving anatomical specimens, wood preservatives, deodorant, disinfecting and embalming materials. It is employed as a mordant in printing and dyeing materials, and in the vulcanizing processes of fiber and rubber. It is useful as an electrolyte in dry cell batteries, in metal industry, in galvanizing iron and as an electrolyte for electroplating. It is useful in an organic synthesis, for example in the Friedel-crafts acylation, Fisher indole synthesis, Lucas reagent (zinc chloride with HCl), activation of allylic/benzylic halides towards reaction with olefins or with sodium cyanoborohydride catalyzed reduction of halides, organozinc reagents for use in Negishi coupling, and aldol condensation reactions.

Reagecon's Zinc Chloride 0.5M (0.5N) Analytical Volumetric Solution (AVL) is tested by an ISO 17025 Accredited Test Method (A2LA Ref: 6739.03). This product is a fully factorised; high purity; stable product; developed and tested for complexometric titrations. This Analytical Volumetric Solution; also called titrant; standard titrant or standard solution; is tested to a specification of ± 0.1%. It is a reagent of known concentration; that is dispensed from a burette or other dispensing apparatus to a sample (analyte); until a reaction between the two liquids is judged to be complete. The product may be used for manual titrations; or more commonly automatic titrations; to determine the end points by detection of any of several properties. Complexometric titrimetry is based on the reaction of a metal ion with a ligand to form a complex. Methods have been developed; validated and published for detection or quantification of almost every metal in the periodic table using EDTA complexation. - Titration is a rapid, economical and versatile analytical tool. This Reagecon titrant is accurate, stable, reproducible and fully factorised. Titrations performed with this product, exhibit defined stoichiometry, are quantitative, establish an equilibrium that is definitive and fast and provide unambiguous results. Stability is proven (either opened or unopened) for the shelf life of this product.
