Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate CAS 10213-79-3 chemical structure

Description

CATO supplies Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate (CAS 10213-79-3), a certified reference material (molecular formula O3SiNaH2O, MW 117.09 g/mol) for analytical method development and quality control.

Owing to an inorganic composition, Sodium metasilicate pentahydrate is typically white to off-white liquid. Its solid-state physicochemical attributes — including a molecular weight of 117.09 g/mol — guide the selection of appropriate sample preparation and analytical techniques.

This reference standard is suitable for quantitative analysis on major chromatographic platforms including HPLC, GC, LC-MS/MS, and GC-MS, serving as an external calibration standard or a system suitability test reference material.

The assigned purity is verified by mass-balance and quantitative NMR (qNMR) approaches, with the expanded uncertainty reported at a 95% confidence level (k=2). Batch homogeneity and stability are independently assessed for every lot.
