Cadmium Chloride
Cadmium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-597/259) is an analytical reagent grade cadmium chloride (CdCl2) used to provide cadmium ions for qualitative inorganic analysis in college and advanced chemistry laboratories. Because cadmium compounds are highly toxic and carcinogenic, it is meant for supervised work by trained staff and is packed in a modest 100 g quantity with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Cadmium Chloride Used For?
In qualitative analysis, cadmium belongs to cation Group II: in acidic solution, hydrogen sulfide or a sulfide reagent precipitates bright yellow cadmium sulfide, which distinguishes it from the black sulfides of copper and lead. With ammonia, cadmium first gives white cadmium hydroxide that dissolves in excess to form a colourless ammine complex, a useful contrast with the deep blue copper complex.
Advanced courses also use cadmium salts in electrochemistry work on electrode potentials. Cadmium compounds are toxic by inhalation and ingestion, are classed as carcinogens and are very toxic to aquatic life, so handle the salt in a fume cupboard with gloves and goggles, keep quantities small and send all residues for hazardous-waste disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which test identifies cadmium using Cadmium Chloride?
A Cadmium Chloride solution gives a bright yellow precipitate of cadmium sulfide with hydrogen sulfide or a sulfide reagent in acidic solution. The yellow colour separates cadmium from copper and lead, whose sulfides are black, in Group II analysis.
Is Cadmium Chloride suitable for school students?
Cadmium Chloride is highly toxic and carcinogenic, so it suits colleges and advanced laboratories where trained staff supervise its use in a fume cupboard. Many school courses substitute safer salts, so check your syllabus and safety policy before ordering.
What does Cadmium Chloride SCI-597/259 include?
Cadmium Chloride SCI-597/259 is a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade cadmium chloride supplied with an MSDS. Protective equipment, glassware and sulfide reagents are separate catalogue items that can be added to the same enquiry.
How should Cadmium Chloride be stored and disposed of?
Store Cadmium Chloride sealed, labelled and locked in a toxic-chemicals cabinet, and collect all residues and rinsings for hazardous-waste disposal. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
What vendor details does the supplier of Cadmium Chloride provide?
The supplier of Cadmium Chloride, Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, provides its CIN and GSTIN for vendor registration and answers institutional enquiries from India and international markets through the contact page.
What information should an enquiry for Cadmium Chloride include?
An enquiry for Cadmium Chloride should state the product code SCI-597/259, the number of 100 g packs, the institution name and the delivery location, so the supplier can confirm availability and dispatch requirements for this hazardous reagent.
