Copper Powder
Copper Powder (Product Code: SCI-917/124) is an analytical reagent grade, finely divided copper metal used for oxidation, mass-change and formula experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. Its fine particles expose a large surface to air and reagents, so heating reactions are easy to complete within one lesson; each 100 g pack carries an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the crucibles and tongs it offers as chemistry lab equipment in India.

What Is Copper Powder Used For?
The standard practical is to weigh a crucible, add copper powder, weigh again and heat it strongly with the lid slightly open: the salmon-pink powder darkens to black copper(II) oxide, and after cooling the contents weigh more than before. Students use the mass difference to show that oxygen from the air has combined with the metal and to work out the simple ratio of copper to oxygen in the oxide.
The black oxide made this way can be reduced back to pink copper by heating it with powdered carbon, closing the loop on oxidation and reduction in a single topic. Stir the powder gently during heating so the whole sample reacts, move the hot crucible with crucible tongs onto a heatproof mat to cool before weighing, and keep the stock container closed and dry between classes.
Supplier
Copper Powder is sourced by ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, and supplied with its MSDS to schools, colleges and laboratories. Dealers and importers in India and international markets can request pack quantities together with the crucibles and tongs used in the same practical. Company background is available on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Copper Powder SCI-917/124 used for?
Copper Powder SCI-917/124 is used to show oxidation and mass gain on heating, to find the ratio of copper to oxygen in copper oxide and to prepare copper compounds in chemistry practicals. Its analytical reagent grade keeps impurities from distorting weighed results.
Why does Copper Powder get heavier when it is heated?
Copper Powder gets heavier on heating because copper combines with oxygen from the air to form black copper(II) oxide. The extra mass equals the oxygen taken up, which students measure by weighing the crucible and contents before and after heating.
How is Copper Powder different from copper pieces?
Copper Powder SCI-917/124 has much finer particles than copper pieces, so it reacts faster with air and reagents when heated or stirred. Choose the powder for oxidation and mass-change work, and pieces when students need to see and handle individual metal samples.
What pack size and paperwork come with Copper Powder SCI-917/124?
Copper Powder SCI-917/124 is supplied in a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade copper with an MSDS for your chemical register. State how many packs you need, and keep the MSDS on file for hazard, first-aid and disposal guidance.
How should Copper Powder be stored, and does it expire?
The shelf life of Copper Powder SCI-917/124 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the container sealed in a dry cabinet, because moist air slowly dulls fine copper.
Can Copper Powder be ordered together with crucibles and tongs?
Yes. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, supplies Copper Powder SCI-917/124 and can quote it with crucibles, tongs and other apparatus from its range. Buyers in India and international markets should list every item in a single enquiry.
