Description

Sodium Bismothate AR 50g

Sodium Bismuthate AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as a strong oxidizing agent, most commonly for the qualitative and quantitative detection of manganese in a sample, where it reacts with manganese ions to produce a distinct purple color; essentially serving as a chemical test for the presence of manganese in solutions like iron or steel samples.
Key points about Sodium Bismuthate AR:
Oxidizing power: Its primary function is as a powerful oxidizer, capable of oxidizing various compounds in a reaction mixture.
Manganese detection: The most common application is in the qualitative analysis of manganese, where adding Sodium Bismuthate to a solution containing manganese ions results in a purple color development.
Chemical formula: Sodium Bismuthate is represented by the chemical formula NaBiO3.
Solubility: It is typically dissolved in acidic solutions to facilitate reactions.
