Benzoic Acid

Product Code : SCL-LC-12268

The Benzoic Acid lab chemical is an organic aromatic carboxylic acid used for supervised chemistry experiments, organic acid teaching, reagent preparation, recrystallization demonstrations, and controlled laboratory work. It is suitable for schools, colleges, chemistry laboratories, science departments, institutional tenders, distributors, and educational procurement buyers.

Product Description

Benzoic Acid from Science Lab Supplies is intended for controlled educational and laboratory use where an aromatic carboxylic acid reagent is required. The exact grade, assay, pack size, physical form, batch number, shelf life, SDS, COA, and regulatory documents must be confirmed before final publication or quotation.

Benzoic acid is commonly represented as C₆H₅COOH or C₇H₆O₂. In teaching laboratories, it can support lessons on carboxylic acids, weak acids, recrystallization, melting-point work, solubility, and organic compound handling where the syllabus, SOP, and SDS permit. This is a laboratory chemical listing, not a food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, or preservative-use listing.

Key Features

• Organic carboxylic acid: suitable for supervised chemistry teaching and approved reagent work.
• Formula reference: benzoic acid is represented as C₇H₆O₂ or C₆H₅COOH.
• Teaching-lab relevance: useful for organic acid, solubility, recrystallization, and melting-point lessons.
• Aromatic compound example: helps demonstrate the behaviour of benzene-ring carboxylic acids.
• Pack size verification: supplied quantity and container type must be confirmed from the final quotation.
• Documentation-led procurement: SDS, COA, assay, batch number, and shelf-life details should be verified before use.
• Controlled laboratory use: intended for supervised institutional handling, not consumer or food-grade use.

How to Use the Benzoic Acid

1. Read the current SDS, product label, and institutional risk assessment before use.
2. Wear suitable PPE, including lab coat, gloves, and eye protection.
3. Use only the quantity required by the approved laboratory procedure.
4. Measure the chemical with a clean, dry spatula or weighing tool.
5. Dissolve, heat, or recrystallize only as specified by the practical method and teacher instructions.
6. Label prepared solutions or samples with chemical name, concentration, date, and safety notes.
7. Keep the container tightly closed after dispensing.
8. Dispose of residues according to institutional chemical-waste rules.

Safety note: Use Benzoic Acid only in supervised laboratory procedures. Avoid inhaling dust, eye contact, skin contact, ingestion, uncontrolled heating, and mixing with unknown chemicals without an approved method.

Care & Maintenance

• Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical-storage area.
• Keep away from moisture, incompatible materials, food items, and unlabelled containers.
• Use clean, dry tools and avoid returning unused material to the original pack.
• Maintain SDS, COA, batch number, grade, pack-size, and shelf-life records for audit control.
