Granulated Zinc (granules)

Product Code : SCI-453/175

Granulated Zinc (granules) (Product Code: SCI-453/175) is analytical reagent grade zinc metal in granule form, used to prepare hydrogen gas and to study metal reactivity in school and college chemistry laboratories. Teachers order it as a 200 g pack supplied with its MSDS, for use with dilute acids in a test tube, a gas collection apparatus or a Kipp generator. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Granulated Zinc Used For?

Granulated zinc with dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid is the standard laboratory source of hydrogen. The granules fizz steadily rather than violently, the gas can be collected over water, and a lighted splint held at the mouth of a tube of the gas gives the familiar squeaky pop. Adding a few drops of copper sulfate solution speeds up the reaction noticeably, a simple demonstration of catalysis.

In reactivity-series work, a granule dropped into copper sulfate solution becomes coated with copper while the blue colour fades, showing that zinc displaces the less reactive metal. Comparing the granules with zinc powder in the same acid shows how surface area affects reaction rate. Keep every flame away from the hydrogen being produced, and let the reaction finish before disposing of leftover acid and metal.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is hydrogen prepared with Granulated Zinc (granules)?
Place Granulated Zinc (granules) in a flask or test tube and add dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid; hydrogen is released at a steady rate and can be collected over water. Test it with a lighted splint for the squeaky pop, keeping all other flames away.

Why use zinc granules rather than zinc powder?
Granulated Zinc (granules) reacts with dilute acid at a steady, controllable rate, which suits gas preparation, whereas zinc powder reacts much faster because of its larger surface area. Granulated Zinc SCI-453/175 comes in a 200 g pack for these practicals.

Can Granulated Zinc (granules) be used in a Kipp's apparatus?
Yes. Granulated Zinc (granules) is the traditional solid charge for a Kipp's apparatus producing hydrogen with dilute acid. The listing does not state granule dimensions, so ask us to confirm the granule size if it must suit a particular apparatus.

How should Granulated Zinc (granules) be stored?
Store Granulated Zinc (granules) SCI-453/175 in a closed, dry container away from acids and oxidising agents, so the metal surface stays clean. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

Can Granulated Zinc (granules) be supplied for several schools?
Yes. Granulated Zinc (granules) SCI-453/175 can be quoted in multiple 200 g packs for a group of schools, a tender or a dealer, with delivery across India and to international markets. List the quantity for each site so the quotation matches your distribution plan.

Who supplies Granulated Zinc (granules) SCI-453/175?
Granulated Zinc (granules) SCI-453/175 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the reagent and provides it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers.
