FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Does CAS 13755-38-9 identify Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate rather than Sodium Nitrite?
A: Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate, CAS 13755-38-9, is a sodium nitroprusside coordination compound in dihydrate form. The CAS identifies the dihydrate; it must not be confused with sodium nitrite, ferrocyanide or ferricyanide. State the full name, CAS and hydrate form. -
Q:
Why is light protection important for Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate?
A: Sodium nitroprusside is light-sensitive, so the supplied material and any solutions should be protected from unnecessary light exposure. Confirm light-protection requirements, packaging and storage conditions from the current product-specific specification and handling requirements. -
Q:
Which requirements should be confirmed before requesting a quotation?
A: Confirm hydrate form, assay and impurity limits, light-protection requirements, packaging and current documentation. Request current product-specific specifications, packaging details and document availability, and compare the offered batch specification against the intended process. -
Q:
What are the main controlled uses of Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate?
A: It is used in controlled industrial or analytical processes where a specific nitroprusside reagent is required. Assess suitability for the buyer's controlled industrial or analytical process before procurement, and do not treat the chemical identity as a general-use or therapeutic specification. -
Q:
What appearance, solubility and stability should be expected for Sodium Nitroprusside Dihydrate?
A: Sodium nitroprusside dihydrate CAS 13755-38-9 is normally a red or ruby-red transparent crystalline solid, molecular weight 297.95, with density about 1.71-1.72 g/cm3 and water solubility about 400 g/L at 20 C, though it slowly decomposes. Aqueous solutions are unstable and may turn blue or green, especially on light or heat exposure, so confirm the supplied hydrate form and protect it from light.
