Calcium Carbonate (granules)
Calcium Carbonate (granules) (Product Code: SCI-453/136) is an analytical reagent grade calcium carbonate (CaCO3) in granular form used to generate carbon dioxide and study reaction rates in school and college chemistry laboratories. The granules react with dilute acid more steadily than a fine powder, which makes them the usual choice for gas-preparation set-ups; each 200 g pack comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier for teaching laboratories.

What Are Calcium Carbonate Granules Used For?
The classic use is the laboratory preparation of carbon dioxide: granules are placed in a flask or gas generator, dilute hydrochloric acid is added through a thistle funnel, and the gas is led off by a delivery tube into gas jars for tests on density, solubility and flame extinguishing. Granules give a controlled effervescence rather than a sudden froth, so the gas flow is easier to manage.
In reaction-rate experiments, students compare the loss in mass, or the volume of gas collected, from granules against powdered calcium carbonate to show how surface area changes the rate. The granules also stand in for marble chips when modelling acid attack on limestone buildings. Avoid dilute sulfuric acid for gas preparation, because sparingly soluble calcium sulfate coats the granules and stops the reaction — a useful point for chemistry consumables planning.
Supplier
These granules are sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name, as part of its reagent range for schools, colleges and institutional laboratories. Dealers and importers in India and international markets can request them with gas-preparation glassware on one enquiry. Read more on the ScienceLab company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
What a carbon dioxide or rate-of-reaction practical with these granules typically needs:
- Hydrochloric Acid — the dilute acid that releases carbon dioxide from the granules.
- Conical Flask — reaction vessel for a simple gas generator.
- Delivery Tube — carries the gas to the gas jar or lime water.
- Calcium Carbonate (powder) — the fine form for surface-area comparisons.
- Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g — another catalogue listing of the granules.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why use Calcium Carbonate (granules) instead of powder for making carbon dioxide?
Calcium Carbonate (granules) SCI-453/136 reacts with dilute hydrochloric acid at a steadier pace than powder, which foams quickly and can push liquid into the delivery tube. Granules therefore give a controllable carbon dioxide flow in gas-preparation practicals.
Which acid should be used with Calcium Carbonate (granules)?
Dilute hydrochloric acid is normally used with Calcium Carbonate (granules). Sulfuric acid is unsuitable because the calcium sulfate formed is only slightly soluble, coats the granules and slows the reaction to a stop. Ask us to quote the acid together with the granules.
What pack size is Calcium Carbonate (granules) SCI-453/136?
Calcium Carbonate (granules) SCI-453/136 is supplied as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade material, accompanied by an MSDS. State the number of packs per laboratory when you request a quotation.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Carbonate (granules)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Calcium Carbonate (granules) in a closed container, away from acids and damp.
Is the granule size of Calcium Carbonate (granules) specified?
The granule size of Calcium Carbonate (granules) SCI-453/136 is not listed on this page. If your practical needs a particular size, tell us through the contact page and we will confirm what the quoted batch supplies.
Who supplies Calcium Carbonate (granules) SCI-453/136?
