Ammonium Chloride 200 g Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Ammonium Chloride 200 g (Product Code: SCI-571/248) is an analytical reagent grade ammonium salt, also called sal ammoniac, used to demonstrate sublimation, prepare ammonia gas and buffer solutions in qualitative analysis in school and college chemistry labs. It is packed as 200 g and comes with an MSDS for the laboratory safety file. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for schools, colleges and dealers.

What Is Ammonium Chloride Used For?

Heated gently at the bottom of a dry test tube, ammonium chloride seems to vanish and reappear as a white solid on the cooler upper wall. In fact it dissociates into ammonia and hydrogen chloride, which recombine as they cool, so the demonstration illustrates both sublimation and a reversible reaction. The same behaviour lets students separate it from a mixture with common salt or sand.

Warmed with calcium hydroxide, ammonium chloride releases ammonia, detected by its smell and by moist red litmus turning blue; this is the standard school preparation of the gas and the basis of the test for ammonium ions. In cation analysis it is added with ammonium hydroxide to hold back the hydroxide concentration, so that group III hydroxides precipitate while later-group ions stay dissolved. It also dissolves with a clear drop in temperature, a simple endothermic example.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, supplies Ammonium Chloride 200 g from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Sublimation, ammonia preparation and group analysis with Ammonium Chloride 200 g usually call for:

• Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm — heated with ammonium chloride to generate ammonia gas.
• Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia) — combined with ammonium chloride as the buffer in group analysis.
• Test Tube 25 x 200mm — a large borosilicate tube for the sublimation demonstration.
• Test Tube Clips — hold the tube safely while it is heated.
• Ammonium Carbonate — the group reagent used after the ammonium chloride buffer stage.

Additional reagents are available in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Ammonium Chloride really sublime?
Ammonium Chloride appears to sublime, but on heating it actually dissociates into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gases, which recombine into a white solid on the cooler part of the tube. Teachers use it to show both apparent sublimation and a reversible reaction.

How is ammonia prepared from Ammonium Chloride 200 g?
Mix Ammonium Chloride with calcium hydroxide and warm the mixture in a test tube; ammonia gas is released and can be collected by upward delivery because it is lighter than air. Moist red litmus turning blue confirms the gas.

Why is ammonium chloride added in cation analysis?
Ammonium Chloride supplies ammonium ions that suppress the hydroxide concentration of ammonia solution. This lets iron, aluminium and chromium hydroxides precipitate in group III while zinc, manganese, magnesium and other later-group ions remain dissolved for separate testing.

What grade and pack size is this?
This Ammonium Chloride, product code SCI-571/248, is listed as analytical reagent grade in a 200 g pack. The MSDS supplied with it explains the irritant hazards, storage conditions and safe disposal of the salt.

What is the shelf life of Ammonium Chloride 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Ammonium Chloride 200 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container dry and closed.

Is Ammonium Chloride hazardous to handle?
Ammonium Chloride is harmful if swallowed and irritating to the eyes, and heating it gives off irritating fumes. Heat only small amounts in a ventilated room, wear goggles, and follow the MSDS supplied with each 200 g pack.
