Benzophenone Extra Pure – 500ml Packs

Benzophenone Extra Pure is a aromatic ketone used in chemistry, analytical science and supervised educational laboratory work. The material is supplied as white crystalline solid, and its carbonyl chromophore absorbs ultraviolet light and supports photochemical teaching. Its chemical behaviour makes it relevant to specific protocols rather than every general-purpose experiment. For researchers and teaching staff, understanding the material’s reactivity, preparation and compatibility is important when selecting a suitable procedure. The 500ml Packs presentation identifies the requested pack size, not a separately verified purity or performance grade. Laboratories should confirm the actual supplier formulation, analytical suitability and current safety guidance before use, particularly when a procedure relies on a defined concentration, solvent, or specification. Appropriate instruction, equipment and waste management help support safe experimental practice.

Why Choose Lab Wale to Buy Benzophenone Extra Pure

Lab Wale offers a way for school, college, university, analytical and research laboratories to source Benzophenone Extra Pure alongside other scientific supplies. When choosing this product, verify the label, pack size, chemical identity and any stated solution strength against the laboratory method. For a prepared reagent, check the formulation and storage requirements before ordering. Lab Wale product information can assist with selection, but suitability for a particular experiment depends on the actual specification and the user’s validated procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Benzophenone Extra Pure

What is Benzophenone Extra Pure used for in a laboratory?

Benzophenone Extra Pure is associated with teaching ketone functional-group reactions and uv absorption demonstrations. Other procedures may be appropriate only with a specified formulation or method. Laboratory personnel should check the intended analytical conditions and assess the relevant hazards before carrying out these activities.

What are the formula and CAS details of Benzophenone Extra Pure?

The molecular or composition entry is C13H10O, and the CAS identification is 119-61-9. These identifiers refer to the stated chemical identity; verify any named isomer or specific grade when selecting material for analytical work.

How does Benzophenone Extra Pure behave in a typical experiment?

The relevant chemistry is that its carbonyl chromophore absorbs ultraviolet light and supports photochemical teaching. Experimental observations also depend on sample composition, reagent concentration, temperature and the procedure. Use an appropriate control or reference where the method calls for one, and avoid interpreting a single colour change as conclusive evidence.

Can Benzophenone Extra Pure be used in educational laboratories?

Its use may be appropriate in a supervised laboratory when the procedure is scientifically justified, the hazard assessment permits it and staff have suitable protective equipment. Some experiments or chemicals require advanced facilities and should not be presented as routine school practicals.

How should Benzophenone Extra Pure be stored and handled?

Keep in a tightly closed container, cool and dry, protected from incompatible oxidizers. Avoid dust generation and skin contact; use appropriate gloves, eyewear and ventilation. Follow institutional disposal procedures. Review the current Safety Data Sheet and the laboratory’s spill-response, segregation and disposal protocols before beginning work.

Storage Conditions for Benzophenone Extra Pure

Keep in a tightly closed container, cool and dry, protected from incompatible oxidizers. Keep the container label legible and observe any supplier-specific shelf-life and material compatibility requirements. Segregate hazardous reagents from incompatible chemicals and restrict access as appropriate.

Precautions for Handling Benzophenone Extra Pure

Review the current Safety Data Sheet before use. Avoid dust generation and skin contact; use appropriate gloves, eyewear and ventilation. Follow institutional disposal procedures. Wear appropriate protective clothing, gloves and chemical splash eyewear, and use suitable ventilation for the specific procedure. Avoid inhalation, ingestion and unnecessary contact. Follow documented spill containment, emergency response and waste-disposal procedures. Supervise use in educational laboratories and do not assume all procedures are appropriate for general teaching.
