Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts (Product Code: SCI-063/07) is a U-tube electrolysis cell used to decompose salt solutions with direct current and show the product formed at each electrode in school and college chemistry laboratories. It combines a glass U tube of 15 mm diameter with graphite electrodes 60 mm long, a rubber stopper and electrical conductor wire, so the products in each arm stay apart. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

The U tube is filled with a salt solution, a graphite electrode is set into each arm, and the conductor wire links them to a low-voltage DC supply. Because the arms are separate, the cathode and anode products can be watched and tested individually: copper(II) chloride solution plates pink copper on the cathode and gives chlorine at the anode, while potassium iodide solution turns brown with iodine at the anode as hydrogen bubbles form at the cathode.
With brine, hydrogen appears at the cathode and chlorine at the anode, and a few drops of universal indicator show the liquid around the cathode turning alkaline, a small-scale model of the chlor-alkali process. Graphite is chosen because it conducts well yet takes little part in the reactions. Run chlorine-producing electrolyses briefly in a ventilated room or fume cupboard, and switch off the supply before touching the electrodes.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts and makes it at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana. The company is a registered MSME manufacturer (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT).
Schools, colleges and dealers sourcing electrolysis apparatus in India receive quotations directly from the factory rather than through a trader, and replacement electrodes, stoppers or tubes for sets already in use can be requested from the same manufacturer, so ask us about what you need.

What is included with the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts?
The Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts SCI-063/07 consists of a glass U tube of 15 mm diameter, graphite electrodes 60 mm long, a rubber stopper and electrical conductor wire. A DC power supply and the salt solutions are not listed as included and can be quoted separately.
Why does the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts use graphite electrodes?
The Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts uses graphite electrodes because graphite conducts electricity yet is largely unreactive, so the products come from the salt solution rather than from the electrodes dissolving. Prolonged chlorine or oxygen production can slowly wear a graphite anode.
Which salt solutions can be electrolysed in this apparatus?
Common choices for the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts are copper(II) chloride, copper sulfate, potassium iodide and sodium chloride solutions, each giving a visible product such as copper, iodine or chlorine. Use dilute solutions and a low-voltage DC supply, following your practical sheet.
Who manufactures the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts?
The Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts SCI-063/07 is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and is supplied factory-direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.
Can replacement electrodes be ordered for the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts?
Yes, you can ask ScienceLab, the manufacturer of the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts, about replacement graphite electrodes, stoppers or U tubes for your sets. Quote the product code SCI-063/07 and the part you need, and we will confirm what can be supplied.
What should an Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts quotation include?
A quotation request for the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts should give the code SCI-063/07, the number of sets, whether a DC power supply, spare electrodes or salts are needed, and the delivery location in India or abroad.
Quotations for the Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts come direct from the manufacturer: send your requirement through the ScienceLab contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart with a power supply and electrolyte salts.
