graded chemical products
« on: August 09, 2008, 10:46:20 PM »
I'm looking to purchase benzoic acid but not sure about the different grades availabe. What is BP grade? What is technical grade? What is LR grade? Any pointers?

Price is usually a good way to tell. Also, if you could find a purity number also listed that'll shed some light on the matter. Some vendors will have different nomenclature.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
