Activity 2 & 2.5: Chemicals Flashcards
A highly pure, stable, and non-hygroscopic reagent used to prepare standard solutions for titrations and other analytical techniques.
primary standard grade
Purity is generally equal to ACS grade. This grade is suitable for analytical work and is more than adequate for general lab use.
reagent grade
An upper-level intermediate quality.
Exact impurities is unknown; however, it’s usually pure enough for most educational laboratories.
laboratory grade
A good-quality grade used industrially. Use caution when substituting for reagent-grade or lab-grade chemicals.
technical grade
It is the highest quality, often equals or exceeds the latest purity standards set by the American Chemical Society (ACS). This is the only universally accepted standard. Chemicals are of the highest purity attainable.
reagent acs grade
A grade of sufficient purity to meet the standards of the National Formulary (NF).
USOP or NF Grade
Meets no official standard; it is not pure enough to be offered for food, drug, or medicinal use of any kind.
practical grade
often used for general purposes where high purity is not critical, such as in educational laboratories or certain industrial applications

- flammable
Depicted by a flame symbol, this pictogram warns that a chemical can catch fire easily at normal temperatures.
flammable
Illustrated by a skull and crossbones, this pictogram indicates that the substance can cause serious or fatal health effects from a single exposure or a short-term exposure.
acute toxicity
Represented by a flame over a circle, this symbol indicates that a substance can cause or enhance the combustion of other materials
oxidizing
Depicted by a dead fish and a tree, this symbol signifies that the chemical can cause harm to aquatic life and the environment.
environmental hazard
Depicted by a test tube pouring liquid onto a hand and a surface, this symbol warns that the substance can cause severe skin burns or eye damage and can corrode materials.
corrosive
