In the physics lab, a solution of ammonium chloride forms the electrolyte of the Leclanche cell, letting students build a working primary cell, measure its emf and see why the voltage falls as the cell polarises. It is also the traditional “sal ammoniac” electrolyte behind the older zinc–carbon dry cell, which helps when explaining how everyday batteries work.
Chemistry classes use the same salt to show sublimation on gentle heating, to demonstrate the cooling effect as it dissolves in water, and in tests for the ammonium ion. Weigh it with a clean, dry spatula, keep the container tightly closed because the salt picks up moisture, and heat it only in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated area. The MSDS supplied with each pack lists the full precautions.

What purity and pack size is this Ammonium Chloride?
This Ammonium Chloride is listed at 99% purity in a 500 g pack of analytical reagent grade, product code SCL-480/135. Each pack is sent with its MSDS, and several packs can be ordered together for multiple laboratories.
What is the shelf life of Ammonium Chloride 99%?
The shelf life of Ammonium Chloride 99% depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack tightly closed in a cool, dry place.
Why is Ammonium Chloride listed in the physics lab range?
Ammonium Chloride 99% is listed with physics lab items because its solution is the electrolyte used in Leclanche cell experiments, where students measure cell emf and study polarisation. The same pack also serves chemistry practicals such as sublimation and ammonium-ion tests.
Does Ammonium Chloride 99% come with safety information?
Yes, Ammonium Chloride 99% is supplied with an MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet). Keep it with your laboratory chemical register and follow its guidance on eye protection, ventilation when heating and disposal of used solutions.
Who supplies Ammonium Chloride SCL-480/135?
Ammonium Chloride 99% SCL-480/135 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources analytical reagents for educational laboratories and can ship them with cells, meters and glassware in one order.
