Acids and bases are essential chemical reagents in laboratories, widely used for titrations, pH adjustments, synthesis, and analytical experiments. They come in varying concentrations and purities, including reagent-grade and analytical-grade, ensuring compatibility with sensitive tests and industrial protocols. Common acids include hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, while typical bases include sodium hydroxide and ammonia.
Proper storage and handling of these chemicals are vital due to their corrosive and reactive nature. Labs use specialized containers, safety labeling, and protective gear to manage risks. Whether for academic research, pharmaceutical development, or industrial quality control, high-quality acids and bases form the backbone of reliable and repeatable lab results.
