Description

A reagent or reactant is any substance used in a chemical reaction. It usually implies a chemical that is added to bring about the chemical change. For example hydrochloric acid is the chemical reagent that would cause calcium carbonate to release carbon dioxide. Similarly, but less obvious, hydrochloric acid is the chemical reagent that reacts with zinc to produce hydrogen, even though in this case the hydrogen comes from the acid and not the metal. To classify any of the chemicals involved in a chemical reaction as the reagent is thus largely a matter of convention or perspective. In another use of the term, when purchasing or preparing chemicals, reagent describes chemical substances of sufficient purity for use in chemical analysis, chemical reactions or physical testing. Purity standards for reagents are set by organizations such as ASTM International. Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.
