Ammonium Nitrate
Ammonium Nitrate (Product Code: SCI-741/156) is an analytical reagent grade ammonium salt used to demonstrate endothermic dissolving and to test for ammonium and nitrate ions in school and college chemistry labs. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, enough for repeated class investigations of the temperature change on dissolving. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Ammonium Nitrate Used For?
When ammonium nitrate dissolves in water the solution becomes noticeably colder, which makes it a clear example of an endothermic process. Students stir a measured mass into water in an insulated cup or beaker and record the fall in temperature with a thermometer, and the same effect explains how instant cold packs work.
In qualitative analysis, warming the salt with sodium hydroxide solution releases ammonia gas, which turns damp red litmus paper blue — the standard test for the ammonium ion — and the salt also features in lessons on nitrogen fertilisers. Ammonium nitrate is a strong oxidiser that can decompose violently if heated strongly or contaminated, so never heat it on its own, keep it away from fuels and powdered metals, and store it cool and dry.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies Ammonium Nitrate to schools, colleges and laboratories as part of the lab chemicals it sources, and each pack is dispatched with an MSDS. Because it is an oxidising salt, delivery options depend on the destination, and ScienceLab confirms them when quoting to institutions, dealers and importers. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156 used for?
Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156 is used to demonstrate endothermic dissolving, to practise tests for the ammonium and nitrate ions, and in lessons on nitrogen fertilisers. Its analytical reagent grade also suits preparing standard solutions in college laboratories.
What pack size is Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156?
Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156 is supplied as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade salt with an MSDS. For larger student groups, order several 200 g packs rather than keeping one large container of this oxidiser.
Why does Ammonium Nitrate make water cold?
Ammonium Nitrate absorbs heat from its surroundings as it dissolves, so the water temperature falls in an endothermic process. With Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156, students can measure this drop with a thermometer and calculate the energy change per gram dissolved.
How should Ammonium Nitrate be stored?
Store Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156 tightly closed in a cool, dry place, separate from fuels, organic materials, powdered metals and acids, because it is a strong oxidiser that also absorbs moisture. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Ammonium Nitrate SCI-741/156 to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers. It is a sourced chemical sent with its MSDS, and for export orders the shipping options are confirmed on the quotation.
What information is needed for an Ammonium Nitrate quotation?
For an Ammonium Nitrate quotation, send the product code SCI-741/156, the number of 200 g packs, the delivery address and the destination country if exporting. ScienceLab will confirm availability, packing and the expiry date of the batch offered.
