Oleic Acid – 500ml Packs

Oleic Acid is an organic carboxylic acid widely utilized across academic institutions to demonstrate physical chemistry and molecular biology principles. It provides educators with a classical monounsaturated fatty acid for student practical work and instructional demonstrations.

In school physics and chemistry laboratories, this reagent is famous for the Langmuir trough experiment, where students measure monolayer spread to calculate the approximate size of an individual molecule. In college biochemistry and organic practicals, it is employed to demonstrate halogen addition across alkene bonds, micelle formation, and esterification reactions.

This educational laboratory chemical supports fundamental secondary and tertiary curriculum objectives, providing precise, observable physical phenomena on the laboratory bench. It is an indispensable supply item for any teaching science department.

Keep the container tightly capped and store in a cool place protected from light. Standard laboratory safety practices, including wearing aprons and safety goggles, should be observed during all experimental practicals.
