About Education
Alliance Chemical's education collection provides high school and university chemistry programs with essential laboratory chemicals selected for safety, reliability, and curriculum alignment. These reagent-grade and technical-grade chemicals enable students to conduct fundamental experiments while meeting strict educational safety standards.
Common Applications
- Acid-Base Titrations: Standardized solutions for quantitative analysis and pH studies
- Redox Experiments: Electrochemistry demonstrations and oxidation-reduction reactions
- Qualitative Analysis: Ion identification and precipitation reaction studies
- Solution Preparation: Molarity and dilution exercises for analytical chemistry
- Solvent Extractions: Organic chemistry separations and purification techniques
- Crystallization Studies: Crystal growth experiments and recrystallization procedures
Available Grades and Forms
Our education chemicals include ACS reagent grade, technical grade, and USP grade materials in liquid solutions, crystalline solids, and ready-to-use concentrations. Key products include acetone ACS grade, hydrochloric acid 37% ACS reagent grade, hydrogen peroxide solutions at 3% and 5% concentrations, deionized water, and battery water for electrochemistry experiments. Understanding chemical grades helps ensure you select the right purity level for your specific educational applications.
Educational Pack Sizes
We offer classroom-friendly quantities from 500ml bottles to 1-gallon containers, with larger 5-gallon pails available for high-volume laboratory programs. These smaller pack sizes accommodate limited storage space and budget constraints typical in educational settings while providing sufficient quantities for multiple student experiments.
Every order includes complete SDS documentation and Certificates of Analysis to support institutional safety compliance and regulatory requirements. Our same-day shipping ensures timely delivery for scheduled laboratory sessions, with no minimum order requirements to accommodate individual classroom needs. For specialized applications, explore our guides on aluminum sulfate applications and advanced material technologies that bridge classroom learning with real-world industrial applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chemical grades are appropriate for educational use?
For educational purposes, ACS (American Chemical Society) grade chemicals are often recommended due to their high purity and suitability for quantitative analysis. Technical grade chemicals may suffice for some demonstrations where absolute purity is not critical, but ACS grade ensures reliable results. Alliance Chemical offers both ACS and technical grades to meet different educational needs.
How should I store lab chemicals safely in a school setting?
Safe storage is crucial. Store acids and bases separately in designated cabinets. Flammable solvents must be kept in a fire-resistant cabinet away from heat and ignition sources. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific storage guidelines for each chemical. Alliance Chemical provides SDS information for all its products.
What are some common chemicals used in high school chemistry experiments?
Common chemicals include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), acetic acid (vinegar), copper sulfate (CuSO4), and various indicators. These are used for acid-base titrations, redox reactions, qualitative analysis, and solution preparation. Alliance Chemical provides these chemicals in various concentrations suitable for educational labs.
How can I dilute concentrated acids and bases safely?
Always add acid or base *to* water, never the other way around, to prevent splattering and heat generation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and eye protection. Prepare dilutions in a well-ventilated area, using appropriate glassware. Alliance Chemical provides chemicals with COA for accurate concentration calculations.
What is the difference between molarity and normality, and when should I use each?
Molarity (M) represents the moles of solute per liter of solution, while normality (N) represents the gram equivalent weight of solute per liter of solution. Normality is often used in acid-base titrations and redox reactions where the number of reactive units (e.g., H+ or OH-) is important. Alliance Chemical provides chemicals with concentration information in both molarity and percent concentration to facilitate calculations.
What safety precautions should students take when handling chemicals?
Students must always wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles and gloves. They should work in a well-ventilated area and follow instructions carefully. Know the location of safety equipment like eyewash stations and emergency showers. Always handle chemicals under the supervision of a qualified instructor. Alliance Chemical prioritizes safety by providing clear product labeling and readily accessible SDS information.
How do I dispose of chemical waste properly from a school laboratory?
Chemical waste disposal should adhere to local, state, and federal regulations. Segregate waste into compatible categories (e.g., acids, bases, solvents). Neutralize acids and bases before disposal if appropriate and permitted. Consult your school's environmental health and safety department for specific guidelines. Alliance Chemical encourages responsible chemical handling and disposal.
What is the shelf life of common laboratory chemicals?
Shelf life varies depending on the chemical and storage conditions. Many chemicals have a recommended retest date on the label. Factors like exposure to light, air, and temperature can affect stability. Consult the SDS for specific information. Alliance Chemical ensures proper packaging to maximize product stability and provides COAs detailing quality at the time of shipment.
Which acids are considered strong acids, and which are weak?
Strong acids completely dissociate in water, examples include hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and nitric acid (HNO3). Weak acids only partially dissociate, like acetic acid (CH3COOH). This difference affects their reactivity and pH. When working with strong acids be sure to follow all safety procedures, including the use of appropriate PPE. Alliance Chemical carries both types of acids in various concentrations and grades.
How do I prepare a standard solution for titration?
A standard solution is one where the concentration is known accurately. Use a volumetric flask and a precisely weighed amount of a primary standard (a high-purity, stable compound) to prepare the solution. Dissolve the solid in the solvent and dilute to the mark. Ensure proper mixing for uniformity. Alliance Chemical provides high purity ACS grade chemicals ideal for preparing standard solutions, along with Certificates of Analysis to verify their purity.
