Product Description
QUINHYDRONE 97% AR is a green crystalline powder composed mainly of Quinhydrone (97%) along with trace impurities. It has a slightly phenolic odor and is primarily used as an analytical reagent for pH measurement in laboratories. With a purity of 97%, it demonstrates redox behavior and is slightly soluble in water but soluble in polar solvents like ethanol and acetone. This Analytical Reagent grade substance forms a 1: 1 molar complex of hydroquinone and quinone, with a molecular formula of C12H10O4 and a molecular weight of 218.21 g/mol. Despite its neutral to acidic pH level (~5.5 in water), it is considered poisonous and should be stored in a cool, dry area away from incompatible substances for a shelf life of a minimum of 2 years.
