L‑Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) – LR Grade, 250 g

L‑Ascorbic Acid, commonly known as Vitamin C, is supplied in a 250 g pack and manufactured to Laboratory Reagent (LR) grade. This well‑known, water‑soluble organic acid is widely used in educational science laboratories due to its safety, familiarity, and clearly observable chemical and biological properties.

Identified by CAS Number: 50‑81‑7 and with no UN number, L‑Ascorbic Acid is not classified as hazardous for transport when handled appropriately. It appears as a white crystalline powder, dissolves readily in water, and acts as a mild reducing agent, making it ideal for analytical chemistry and redox experiments.

Supplied in a practical size suitable for repeated classroom use, this LR‑grade material ensures consistent, reliable results for both student practical work and teacher‑led demonstrations.
