Acetic acid, MSDS

Acetic acid - 8-hydroxyquinoline reagent - dissolve 10 g 8-hydroxy-quinoline in a solution of 2.5 % (v/v) acetic acid and make up to 1 I. (The 8-hydroxyquinoline blocks the readsorption or precipitation of phosphate by active iron and aluminium during acetic acid extraction. Synonyms hydroxybenzopyridine oxine phenopyridine 8-quinolinol. Not carcinogenic, but may be harmful if swallowed, and causes irritation to eyes, respiratory tract and skin safety data sheet at http //www. jtbaker.com/msds/q7250. htm.)...

The nomenclature for carboxylic acids follows the familiar pattern of adding the functional group name -oic acid to the named hydrocarbon chain except that the common names formic acid and acetic acid are still widely accepted. Thus, formic acid is methanoic acid, acetic acid is ethanoic acid, propionic acid is propanoic acid, and -butyric acid is butanoic acid. The CAS numbers (Chemical Abstract Service, American Chemical Society) for the carboxylic acids are listed in Table 6.1 along with the physical properties. The CAS numbers refer to the major carboxylic acid component. Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for CAS numbers of any minor impurities in the solvent.
