Chemical Structure

Potassium Hydroquinonesulfonate CAS 21799-87-1 chemical structure

Description

Recommended for analytical method development and validation; each product is supplied with a full Certificate of Analysis (COA) ensuring ISO 17034 metrological traceability.

Potassium Hydroquinonesulfonate (CAS 21799-87-1) is a high-purity analytical reference standard with the molecular formula C6H5O5SK and a molecular weight of 228.26 g/mol.

Based on its molecular formula C6H5O5SK, Potassium Hydroquinonesulfonate contains a carbohydrate-derived structure, a sulfone group; these features give the compound characteristic absorption bands in UV spectroscopy. The molecular weight of 228.26 g/mol is directly relevant to the identification of the molecular ion in mass spectrometry. The presence of an aromatic ring or conjugated system gives the compound characteristic absorption bands in the UV-Vis region, making it well suited to UV or diode-array detection (DAD).

As a certified reference material (CRM), Potassium Hydroquinonesulfonate meets the metrological traceability requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories. Batch-to-batch consistency is monitored via control charts to guarantee comparable assigned values across lots.
