Copper (pieces)
Copper (pieces) (Product Code: SCI-915/123) is analytical reagent grade copper metal in piece form, used for reactivity-series, displacement and metal-acid experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. It is packed in 100 g quantities with an MSDS, and pieces that do not react in a test can simply be rinsed and used again. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier in India.

What Are Copper Pieces Used For?
Copper sits low in the reactivity series, and a few clean pieces make that visible: dropped into dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid next to magnesium and zinc, copper stays unchanged while the more reactive metals fizz. Placed in silver nitrate solution, a copper piece slowly grows glittering silver crystals as the liquid turns blue, a memorable displacement reaction for the reactivity-of-metals chapter.
Teachers also use copper pieces in the nitric acid demonstration of an oxidising acid, always inside a fume cupboard. Before each practical, rub the pieces with fine emery paper or dip them briefly in dilute acid to remove tarnish, then rinse and dry them so that surface oxide does not hide the reaction.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, sources Copper (pieces) as part of the laboratory chemicals it supplies to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 used for?
Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 is used to demonstrate the reactivity series, the displacement of silver from silver nitrate and the reaction of an oxidising acid with a metal. The analytical reagent grade copper gives clean, repeatable observations in school and college chemistry.
How much copper is in each pack?
Each pack of Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 contains 100 g of analytical reagent grade copper with an MSDS. Most tests use only a few pieces per group, so count your practical groups and tell us how many packs to include in the quotation.
What size are the copper pieces?
The listing for Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 gives the grade and 100 g pack but not the dimensions of individual pieces. If your experiment needs a particular size, such as strips or turnings, contact us before ordering so we can confirm what is supplied.
Does Copper (pieces) have an expiry date?
The shelf life of Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store the pieces dry in a closed container so that tarnish stays light.
How should copper pieces be cleaned before an experiment?
Clean Copper (pieces) by rubbing them with fine emery paper or dipping them briefly in dilute acid, then rinsing with water and drying. This removes the dull oxide layer so that displacement and acid reactions with Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 start promptly.
Who supplies Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Copper (pieces) SCI-915/123 with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers. Orders for India and international markets can combine the copper with other metals and salts.
