Product Code : SCL-LC-12169
Oxalic Acid (SKU SCL-LC-12169), also known as ethanedioic acid, is an organic acid reagent for chemistry laboratories, covering titrations, standardisation, solution preparation and the teaching of redox and acid–base concepts. It suits schools with trained supervision, colleges, universities and analytical labs that make up standard solutions. Science Lab Supplies prices it from Ambala, India for institutions, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors, from one pack upward.
Specifications
The identity, hydrate options and storage needs of this oxalic acid are laid out in the table below. In short, it is a dicarboxylic organic acid supplied as a solid for weighing and dissolving; the anhydrous form is CAS 144-62-7, and because a dihydrate also exists, the form, grade and pack size of your batch are stated on the label.

Applications and Experiments for Oxalic Acid
Oxalic acid is a classic primary reagent in volumetric analysis: with it, students prepare a standard solution and use it to find the strength of an alkali or an oxidising agent. It also suits redox teaching and analytical methods that call for it, always handled under trained supervision.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: preparing a standard oxalic acid solution and titrating it against sodium hydroxide delivered from a 50 ml Burette.
- Class 12 volumetric analysis: redox titration of potassium permanganate against oxalic acid in a Conical Flask (Erlenmeyer) with Stopper.
- B.Sc. analytical chemistry: standardisation work where the method specifies oxalic acid, with the solid weighed on a Chemical Semi-Analytical Balance of 100 mg sensitivity.
- Training in weighing, dissolving and labelling reagents.
It is a hazardous chemical: avoid inhaling dust, swallowing it or letting it touch skin or eyes, wear gloves, goggles and a lab coat, and keep eyewash within reach. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
You receive oxalic acid in a sealed container bearing a label with batch, grade and hazard details, packed in a tamper-sealed outer pack with export documentation. The net quantity and hydrate form are confirmed on the quotation, and burettes, pipettes and indicators for a titration apparatus set can be quoted with it.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Quotes are available for a single pack or a full year's titration stock for several classes. Each quotation spells out the pack size, packing, delivery time and price, and indicators, alkalis and glassware can be listed with it so the school chemistry lab equipment in India arrives together.
Because Science Lab Supplies is a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, it can ship to buyers in Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Oman. Oxalic acid for titration benches can be priced through the contact page, a list in the enquiry cart, or the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is oxalic acid used in titrations?
It can be weighed accurately to make a standard solution, which is then used to find the concentration of sodium hydroxide in acid–base titrations or of potassium permanganate in redox titrations.
Is this oxalic acid anhydrous or dihydrate?
The hydrate form is stated on the label and quotation for the batch offered. Anhydrous oxalic acid has CAS number 144-62-7; if your method needs a specific form, tell us through the contact page.
Is oxalic acid safe for school practicals?
It can be used in authorised school labs under trained supervision. It is a hazardous chemical that must not be inhaled, swallowed or allowed to touch skin or eyes, so gloves, goggles, careful weighing and access to eyewash are needed.
Who supplies Oxalic Acid?
Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala in India, quotes oxalic acid directly to schools, colleges, analytical labs, contractors and distributors, stating the hydrate form, grade and pack size for whatever quantity is requested.
