Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g
Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g (Product Code: SCI-563/244) is powdered calcium carbonate of analytical reagent grade, used for rate-of-reaction, neutralisation and thermal decomposition experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. As a powder it offers a large surface area and reacts far faster with acid than granules, and it is supplied as a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, within its range of educational laboratory equipment in India.

What Is Calcium Carbonate Powder Used For?
In the standard rate experiment, a flask of dilute hydrochloric acid with a cotton-wool plug sits on a balance; the powder is tipped in and the mass is recorded as carbon dioxide escapes. Repeating with granules of the same mass gives a much slower curve, so students can see and graph how surface area changes reaction rate. The same set-up can then be used to vary acid concentration or temperature.
Powdered calcium carbonate also neutralises acid in the classic indigestion-remedy investigation, where students find how much powder is needed to bring an acid solution to neutral with indicator paper. Heated strongly in a crucible, it decomposes to calcium oxide (quicklime) and carbon dioxide, introducing thermal decomposition and the lime cycle. Store it dry and pour it gently to limit dust.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Physical form: powder (this listing) for fast reactions, or granules for controlled gas generation.
- Number of 200 g packs for your class groups.
- Any balance, flasks or indicator paper you want quoted for rate and neutralisation work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g used in rate-of-reaction experiments?
Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g has a much larger surface area than granules, so it reacts faster with acid. Comparing the powder with granules of equal mass lets students measure and graph how surface area affects reaction rate.
How do students measure the reaction rate?
Students add Calcium Carbonate (Powder) to dilute acid in a flask standing on a balance and record the mass at regular intervals. The falling mass shows carbon dioxide escaping, and plotting it against time gives the rate curve.
Can the powder be used to prepare carbon dioxide?
It can, but Calcium Carbonate (Powder) reacts so quickly that it may froth and is hard to control in a gas generator. For steady gas preparation the granular listing is usually more convenient, while the powder suits rate and neutralisation studies.
What happens when calcium carbonate powder is heated strongly?
When Calcium Carbonate (Powder) is heated strongly in a crucible it decomposes into calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. Adding a few drops of water to the cooled solid, then indicator, reveals the alkaline calcium hydroxide formed, completing a lime-cycle demonstration.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we give no set period for Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted and keep it in a dry cupboard.
What is included with each pack?
Each Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g pack, code SCI-563/244, holds analytical reagent grade powder and comes with an MSDS describing handling, storage and disposal. Schools and dealers can order multiple packs for India and international markets.
