Oxalic Acid Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Oxalic Acid (Product Code: SCL-911/198) is a dicarboxylic acid used to prepare primary standard solutions for titrations in school, college and quality-control laboratories. Chemistry teachers choose it because it weighs out accurately and reacts in a fixed ratio with potassium permanganate and sodium hydroxide; this analytical reagent grade material is supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, and is a core item in any volumetric analysis kit in India.

What Is Oxalic Acid Used For?

The best-known practical is the redox titration of potassium permanganate against a standard oxalic acid solution. Students weigh the acid on an analytical balance, make it up to the mark in a volumetric flask, pipette a portion into a conical flask, acidify it with dilute sulphuric acid and warm it, because the reaction is slow when cold. Permanganate is run in from the burette until a faint pink colour stays; no separate indicator is needed because permanganate itself shows the end point. The same standard solution is used in acid–base work to find the exact strength of a sodium hydroxide solution with phenolphthalein as indicator.

Weigh by difference, use freshly boiled and cooled distilled water for the alkali titration, and label each standard solution with its concentration and date. Oxalic acid is harmful if swallowed and irritates skin and eyes, so keep it well away from food areas and wash hands after weighing. Schools putting together a titration kit for school practicals generally keep oxalic acid as their primary standard because it is easy to handle.

• Potassium Permanganate — the oxidising titrant standardised against oxalic acid.
• Sulphuric Acid Dilute — provides the acidic medium the permanganate titration needs.
• Volumetric Flask — for making the standard solution up to an exact volume.
• Burette — delivers the titrant and gives the titre reading.
• Phenolphthalein Solution — the indicator for standardising alkali with oxalic acid.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who supplies Oxalic Acid SCL-911/198?
Oxalic Acid (SCL-911/198) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent grade acid, sends it with its MSDS and quotes it together with other titration reagents for institutions in India and international markets.

Why is Oxalic Acid used as a primary standard?
Oxalic Acid is used as a primary standard because it is stable in air, can be weighed accurately and reacts in a known proportion with both potassium permanganate and sodium hydroxide. The strength of its solution therefore follows directly from the mass weighed and the flask volume.

What pack size of Oxalic Acid is available?
A pack size is not listed for Oxalic Acid SCL-911/198. Tell us the total quantity your laboratory needs through the contact page and we will confirm the packing currently available before sending the quotation.

Is an indicator needed when titrating permanganate against Oxalic Acid?
No separate indicator is needed. Potassium permanganate acts as its own indicator, so when it is titrated against warm, acidified Oxalic Acid solution the end point is the first pale pink colour that persists after swirling the flask.

What is the shelf life of Oxalic Acid?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the Oxalic Acid container tightly closed and dry so the weighed mass stays reliable for standard solutions.

Is Oxalic Acid hazardous?
Oxalic Acid is harmful if swallowed and irritates skin and eyes, so students should weigh it with a spatula, wear gloves and keep it away from food areas. The MSDS supplied with the product covers toxicity, first aid and safe disposal of oxalate solutions.

Can one quotation cover Oxalic Acid for several schools?
Yes. Oxalic Acid can be quoted for institutional and multi-site orders across India and in international markets. Share the list of delivery points and the quantity for each, and we will prepare a single quotation that also covers permanganate, indicators and glassware if needed.
