I am considering preparing TCA solution myself, as it may be more convenient for transport. I am interested in preparing a 12.5% TCA solution and would like to confirm which grade of trichloroacetic acid crystals I should order. Should I use the 99% ACS grade or the lab grade for this purpose? Additionally, could you advise on the correct ratio of trichloroacetic acid crystals to distilled water to achieve a 12.5% concentration?
Hello, and thank you for your question,
To prepare a 12.5% trichloro acetic acid solution yourself, you will need to dissolve 0.5kgs of the trichloro acetic acid crystals in 1 liter of water, and then bring the solution to a final volume of 4 liters with water.
However, Lab Alley offers a wide variety of sizes for that concentration at this link: https://www.laballey.com/products/trichloroacetic-acid-12-5
