Calcium Chloride
Calcium Chloride (Product Code: SCL368/084) is an inorganic calcium salt used as a drying agent, a source of calcium ions for precipitation and flame tests, and a solute in heat-of-solution and freezing-point experiments in teaching laboratories. Chemistry departments order it as a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade, supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and dealers.

What Is Calcium Chloride Used For?
Calcium chloride readily absorbs moisture, which is why its anhydrous form is packed into drying tubes and desiccators to keep gases and samples dry. In qualitative analysis, adding sodium carbonate solution to a calcium chloride solution gives a white precipitate of calcium carbonate. A flame test shows the orange-red colour of calcium, a standard step in any flame test kit for schools.
Dissolving the anhydrous salt in water releases noticeable heat, so it doubles as a quick demonstration of an exothermic process. Its solutions also freeze below the freezing point of pure water, which links neatly to lessons on colligative properties and road de-icing. Because the salt pulls water from the air, reseal the pack straight after use, store it in a dry cupboard and wear eye protection when handling concentrated solutions.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Form required: anhydrous (for drying tubes and desiccators) or hydrated – the listing does not state it, so tell us.
- Pack size: this listing is the 100 g pack; a larger pack has its own listing.
- Number of packs for each lab or campus.
- Any drying tubes, absorption towers or desiccators to be quoted alongside.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Calcium Chloride used for in teaching labs?
Calcium Chloride (SCL368/084) is used as a drying agent in tubes and desiccators, as a calcium salt for precipitation and flame tests, and for demonstrating heat of solution and freezing-point lowering in school and college chemistry practicals.
Is this Calcium Chloride anhydrous or hydrated?
The listing for Calcium Chloride (SCL368/084) states the pack size and analytical reagent grade but not the hydration form. If you need anhydrous material for drying tubes or desiccators, mention it in your enquiry and we will confirm what can be supplied.
How much Calcium Chloride comes in a pack?
Each pack of Calcium Chloride contains 100 g of analytical reagent grade salt and is sent with an MSDS. Tell us the number of packs you need, and whether the larger pack from our separate listing suits your usage better.
How should Calcium Chloride be stored?
Store Calcium Chloride in a tightly sealed container in a dry cupboard, because it absorbs moisture from the air and can turn damp or even dissolve. Reseal the pack immediately after weighing out what you need for the class.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Chloride?
The shelf life of Calcium Chloride depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, with moisture pickup the main concern. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container closed and dry.
Who supplies this Calcium Chloride?
Calcium Chloride on this page is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this reagent and supplies it with related glassware to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
