Ethanedic Acid
Ethanedic Acid (Product Code: SCI-439/184) is ethanedioic acid, better known as oxalic acid, an analytical reagent used as a primary standard in redox and acid–base titrations in school and college chemistry laboratories. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, a practical size for volumetric analysis courses. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India for teaching laboratories.

What Is Ethanedioic (Oxalic) Acid Used For?
Oxalic acid is a staple of volumetric analysis. Its crystals can be weighed accurately to make a standard solution, which is then titrated against potassium permanganate in warm, dilute sulfuric acid — the permanganate acts as its own indicator, leaving a faint permanent pink at the end point — or against sodium hydroxide with phenolphthalein. These titrations appear in most senior school and college practical syllabuses.
Oxalic acid is harmful if swallowed and irritates the skin and eyes, so students should wear gloves and eye protection, weigh it without spreading dust and wash their hands after use. Keep it in a closed container in the chemical store, well away from food areas, and consult the MSDS supplied before the first practical.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies oxalic acid alongside the burettes, pipettes and indicators used in titration practicals, so a laboratory can source its whole volumetric set-up through one enquiry. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). Supply covers institutions, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Details are on the company profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Ethanedic Acid the same as oxalic acid?
Yes. Ethanedic Acid is our catalogue name for ethanedioic acid, which is commonly called oxalic acid. The product, SCI-439/184, is analytical reagent grade in a 200 g pack. If you need a specific form of the acid, ask us before ordering.
Why is oxalic acid used as a primary standard?
Ethanedic Acid (oxalic acid) is used as a primary standard because its crystals are stable, easy to weigh accurately and react in a known ratio with permanganate and hydroxide. A solution of known concentration can therefore be made up directly by weighing and dilution.
What pack size is Ethanedic Acid supplied in?
Ethanedic Acid is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS. Titration practicals use only small weighed portions to make each standard solution, so specify the number of packs your department needs in your enquiry.
What is the shelf life of Ethanedic Acid?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not quote a fixed period for Ethanedic Acid. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store it tightly closed in a dry place.
Is Ethanedic Acid hazardous?
Yes. Ethanedic Acid (oxalic acid) is harmful if swallowed and irritates the skin and eyes. Handle it with gloves and eye protection, avoid raising dust and keep it away from food areas. The MSDS supplied with each pack sets out the full precautions.
Who supplies Ethanedic Acid?
Ethanedic Acid (SCI-439/184) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, testing laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, together with the glassware needed for titrations.
