Product Code : SCL-LC-12169
Oxalic Acid (SKU SCL-LC-12169), also known as ethanedioic acid, is an organic acid reagent used in chemistry laboratories for titrations, standardisation, solution preparation and teaching redox and acid–base concepts. Schools with trained supervision, colleges, universities and analytical labs weigh it out to make standard solutions. Orders are handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, which answers enquiries from institutions, stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Oxalic acid is a dicarboxylic organic acid supplied as a solid reagent for weighing and dissolving. The anhydrous form has the formula C2H2O4 and CAS 144-62-7; oxalic acid is also sold as a dihydrate, so the hydrate form, grade and pack size of your batch are stated on the label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Oxalic Acid
Oxalic acid is a classic primary reagent in volumetric analysis: students prepare a standard oxalic acid solution and use it to find the strength of an alkali or an oxidising agent. It also serves in redox teaching and in analytical methods that call for it, always handled under trained supervision.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: preparing a standard solution of oxalic acid and titrating it against sodium hydroxide.
- Class 12 volumetric analysis: redox titration of potassium permanganate against oxalic acid.
- B.Sc. analytical chemistry: standardisation work where the method specifies oxalic acid.
- Training in weighing, dissolving and labelling reagents.
It irritates the eyes, skin and airways and is harmful if swallowed, so wear gloves and goggles, avoid dust and keep eyewash nearby. 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. The net quantity and hydrate form are confirmed on the quotation; burettes, pipettes and indicators for a titration apparatus set are quoted separately.
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. Please use the contact page for questions, the enquiry cart to list items, and the lab tender page for tenders.
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 is C2H2O4, CAS 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 irritates the skin, eyes and airways and is harmful if swallowed, so gloves, goggles and careful weighing are needed.
Who supplies Oxalic Acid?
Oxalic acid on this page is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India, which quotes schools, colleges, analytical labs, contractors and distributors directly for any quantity.
