Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g (Product Code: SCI-561/243) is analytical reagent grade calcium carbonate in granular form, used to generate carbon dioxide with dilute acid and to study reaction rates in school and college chemistry labs. The granules react at a steady, controllable pace that suits gas preparation, and the pack holds 200 g with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which also lists gas collection apparatus such as side-tube flasks.

Granules placed in a flask or Kipp generator and covered with dilute hydrochloric acid give a steady stream of carbon dioxide that can be collected over water or by upward displacement of air. Students then test the gas with limewater, show that it puts out a burning splint, and fill gas jars to demonstrate that it is denser than air. Because granules keep their shape, the reaction does not froth up and block the delivery tube as fine powder can.
Granules also give the slower curve in rate-of-reaction investigations: comparing the same mass of granules and powder with the same acid shows clearly how surface area controls reaction speed. Avoid sulphuric acid for gas generation, because insoluble calcium sulphate coats the granules and stops the reaction; hydrochloric acid is the usual choice.

What is Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g used for?
Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g is used mainly to generate carbon dioxide by reaction with dilute hydrochloric acid in a flask or gas generator. It also serves in rate-of-reaction work, where granules are compared with powder to show the effect of surface area.
Why use granules rather than powder for making carbon dioxide?
Granular Calcium Carbonate reacts steadily and does not froth or clog the apparatus, so the gas flow is easier to control and collect. Powder reacts much faster, which helps rate comparisons but is less convenient for filling gas jars.
Can sulphuric acid be used with calcium carbonate granules?
Sulphuric acid is not recommended with Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g, because the calcium sulphate formed is only slightly soluble and coats the granules, so the reaction quickly slows and stops. Dilute hydrochloric acid is the standard choice.
What does the pack contain?
This listing, code SCI-561/243, contains 200 g of analytical reagent grade Calcium Carbonate in granule form, supplied with an MSDS for your safety records. The granule size is not specified in the listing; ask us if your apparatus needs a particular size.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g?
