Ethanol (ethyl alcohol)
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) (Product Code: SCI-919/125) is an analytical reagent grade organic solvent used for dissolving indicators, extracting plant pigments and running esterification and combustion experiments in school, college and research laboratories. It comes in a 500 ml bottle with an MSDS, and its reagent grade makes it the right choice where purity matters, unlike denatured burning alcohol. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which serves chemistry and biology labs as a lab chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Ethanol Used For?
In biology practicals, ethanol removes the chlorophyll from a leaf that has first been boiled in water, so that iodine solution can then show where starch was made during photosynthesis. Chemistry classes use it to dissolve indicators such as phenolphthalein, as the alcohol in the esterification practical with ethanoic acid, and in small combustion tests showing that alcohols burn with a clean blue flame.
Ethanol is highly flammable and its vapour can travel to a flame, so warm it only in a hot water bath with every burner turned off, never directly over heat. Keep the bottle tightly closed to limit evaporation, store it in a flammables cabinet away from oxidising acids, and pour small working volumes rather than carrying the stock bottle to the bench.
Supplier
ScienceLab, as Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited is known in trade, supplies reagent-grade solvents such as Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) together with laboratory glassware and apparatus. Schools, colleges, research labs, dealers and importers in India and international markets can include the ethanol in a wider chemicals order. Visit the company profile to learn more.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Reagents and apparatus used with ethanol in chemistry and biology practicals:
- Denatured Ethanol (Alcohol for burning) — fuel alcohol for lamps rather than reagent work.
- Phenolphthalein — an indicator commonly dissolved in ethanol.
- Glacial Ethanoic Acid (Acetic Acid) — reacts with ethanol to form an ester.
- Potassium Iodine-Iodine Solution — tests the decolourised leaf for starch.
- Water Bath — flame-free heating for warming ethanol safely.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 used for?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 is used as a solvent for indicators and extracts, to decolourise leaves before the starch test, and as the alcohol in esterification and combustion practicals. Its analytical reagent grade suits work where impurities would interfere.
How much ethanol is supplied in one bottle?
One bottle of Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 holds 500 ml of analytical reagent grade ethanol and is supplied with an MSDS. Tell us how many bottles your chemistry and biology sections need, and we will prepare a combined quotation.
How does this ethanol differ from denatured alcohol?
Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 is analytical reagent grade for use as a solvent and reactant, whereas denatured alcohol contains additives that make it unfit to drink and is normally burned as a fuel. Use reagent ethanol wherever purity affects results.
What strength is Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125?
The listing for Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 specifies analytical reagent grade and a 500 ml bottle but no percentage strength. If your method needs absolute ethanol or a particular aqueous strength, contact us and we will confirm the batch details before quoting.
How should Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) be stored, and does it expire?
The shelf life of Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store it tightly closed in a cool flammables cabinet, away from flames and oxidisers.
Can Ethanol SCI-919/125 be shipped internationally?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, supplies Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) SCI-919/125 in India and to international markets where dangerous-goods rules for flammable liquids allow. Give your destination and quantity in the enquiry so the shipping options can be checked.
