Copper Chloride (II) (100 g)
Copper Chloride (II) (100 g) (Product Code: SCI-574/249) is analytical reagent grade copper(II) chloride, or cupric chloride, used for electrolysis, flame-test and metal-displacement experiments in school and college chemistry labs. It is widely used to show copper deposition and chlorine release in a single electrolysis, and it comes as a 100 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which also lists electrolysis apparatus for schools in India.

What Is Copper(II) Chloride Used For?
When a copper(II) chloride solution is electrolysed between graphite electrodes, a pink-brown layer of copper builds up on the cathode while bubbles of chlorine form at the anode, detected by its smell and by bleaching damp litmus paper. The blue-green colour of the solution fades as copper ions are removed, making the link between ions and products easy to see. Run the electrolysis briefly and in a ventilated room, because chlorine is toxic.
A little of the salt on a clean wire gives a bright blue-green flame, the standard flame test for copper. Adding zinc granules or iron powder to its solution displaces copper metal, and adding sodium hydroxide gives a pale blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide. The salt is harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life, so collect waste for proper disposal and keep the pack sealed, as it absorbs moisture.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Copper Chloride (II) (100 g) from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. The electrolysis U-tube, a power supply and displacement metals can be quoted alongside it. For company details, open the ScienceLab profile page.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Electrolysis and copper-ion practicals using Copper Chloride (II) (100 g) often include:
- Apparatus for Electrolysis of Salts — a U-tube with graphite electrodes for electrolysing the solution.
- Universal Power Supply or Power — a low-current laboratory supply to drive the electrolysis.
- Granulated Zinc (Granules) 200 g — displaces copper metal from the solution.
- Iron (Powder) — a second metal for displacement comparisons.
- Sodium Hydroxide 500 g — gives the blue copper(II) hydroxide precipitate test.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when Copper Chloride (II) solution is electrolysed?
During electrolysis of Copper Chloride (II) solution with graphite electrodes, copper metal deposits on the cathode and chlorine gas forms at the anode. The blue-green colour slowly fades as copper ions are discharged, showing students how ions become products.
What flame colour does copper(II) chloride give?
Copper Chloride (II) gives a bright blue-green flame on a clean nichrome or platinum wire, the characteristic flame test result for copper ions. It is often used as the known copper sample when students learn flame tests.
What is in this pack?
This listing, Copper Chloride (II) (100 g), code SCI-574/249, supplies analytical reagent grade copper(II) chloride in a 100 g pack with an MSDS. The hydration state is not stated in the listing; ask us if your method needs a specific form.
Is copper(II) chloride hazardous?
Copper Chloride (II) is harmful if swallowed, irritating to skin and eyes, and toxic to aquatic life. Wear gloves and goggles, avoid releasing solutions to drains, and follow the disposal guidance in the MSDS supplied with the pack.
What is the shelf life of Copper Chloride (II) (100 g)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no set period is quoted for Copper Chloride (II) (100 g). Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep it sealed against moisture.
How do we request a quotation for the electrolysis set-up?
Add Copper Chloride (II) (100 g), the electrolysis apparatus and a power supply to the enquiry cart, or list them on the contact page. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) will quote them together for delivery in India or international markets.
Request a Quote
For Copper Chloride (II) (100 g), send the number of packs and delivery location via the contact page, or place it in the enquiry cart with the electrolysis apparatus. We will confirm availability and prepare a quotation.
