Calcium Phosphate
Calcium Phosphate (Product Code: SCI-505/217) is an analytical reagent grade calcium salt used to study the mineral of bones and teeth, phosphate testing and the behaviour of sparingly soluble salts in school, college and nutrition-science laboratories. It is supplied as a 200 g pack with its MSDS for teachers preparing a solubility experiment kit or combined biology and chemistry demonstrations. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Calcium Phosphate Used For?
Calcium phosphate is the main mineral in bone and tooth enamel, so biology and home-science classes use it to show why diets need calcium and phosphorus. Stirred into water it barely dissolves, yet it dissolves readily in dilute hydrochloric or nitric acid — a simple school chemistry lab model of how acids attack enamel and cause tooth decay.
Chemistry students can go further: after dissolving a sample in dilute nitric acid, warming with ammonium molybdate gives a yellow precipitate that confirms phosphate. Agriculture and environmental courses use it to explain rock phosphate and how insoluble phosphate is turned into soluble superphosphate fertiliser with acid. Several compounds share the name, so confirm whether you need the tri-, di- or monocalcium salt before ordering.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies Calcium Phosphate among the calcium and phosphate salts used in biology, chemistry and agriculture teaching. The Ambala, Haryana company deals with schools, colleges, agricultural institutes and distributors throughout India and international markets. Further information is on the ScienceLab profile page.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Solubility and phosphate-test lessons with Calcium Phosphate often use these reagents:
- Hydrochloric Acid Dilute — dissolves the salt in the enamel-and-acid demonstration.
- Nitric Acid 500 ml — acidifies the sample before the molybdate test.
- Ammonium Molybdate — forms the canary-yellow precipitate that confirms phosphate.
- Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g — a calcium salt that fizzes in acid, for contrast.
- Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate — a water-soluble phosphate to compare with the calcium salt.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which form of Calcium Phosphate is supplied?
The listing for Calcium Phosphate (SCI-505/217) states analytical reagent grade and a 200 g pack with MSDS, but not whether it is tricalcium, dicalcium or monocalcium phosphate. Tell us the form your syllabus or method specifies and we will confirm it before quoting.
Why does Calcium Phosphate dissolve in acid but not in water?
Calcium Phosphate is only sparingly soluble in water, but acids convert its phosphate ions into more soluble hydrogen phosphates, so the solid dissolves. This is the same chemistry by which acids from food and bacteria slowly dissolve tooth enamel.
How do students test Calcium Phosphate for phosphate ions?
Dissolve a little Calcium Phosphate in dilute nitric acid, add ammonium molybdate solution and warm gently; a canary-yellow precipitate confirms phosphate ions. Students should wear goggles and gloves, since both the nitric acid and the molybdate reagent need careful handling.
How should Calcium Phosphate be stored?
Keep Calcium Phosphate in a tightly closed container in a dry cabinet away from acids, and label any portions transferred for class use. Refer to the MSDS supplied with the 200 g pack for handling, spill and first-aid information.
What is the shelf life of Calcium Phosphate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so a single figure is not given for Calcium Phosphate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the pack sealed when it is not in use.
Who supplies the Calcium Phosphate on this page?
The Calcium Phosphate on this page is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources laboratory reagents for education, research and agriculture laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.
