Benzene AR 2,5Lt R2875,00
Description
Benzene AR 2.5L
Benzene is a chemical used in laboratories for a variety of processes, including:
  • Solvent
    Benzene is used as a solvent to prepare nanoparticles of gallium nitride (GaN).
  • Formation of phenyl acetate
    Benzene is used to form phenyl acetate through aerobic oxidation with acetic acid as a solvent and a Pd catalyst.
  • Formation of phenol

    Benzene is used to form phenol through hydroxylation in the presence of a vanadium catalyst supported on mesoporous carbon nitride. 

Benzene is a colorless, flammable, and volatile liquid with a gasoline-like odor.
It is a known carcinogen and exposure to it may cause leukemia. 
Benzene is also used in industry to make plastics, resins, synthetic fibers, lubricants, dyes, and more.

However, its use has decreased in recent years in favor of less hazardous options such as toluene. 

When handling benzene in a laboratory, it is important to use appropriate controls, personal protective equipment, and disposal techniques.
