Hydrated Calcium Chloride
Hydrated Calcium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-581/252) is an analytical reagent grade calcium chloride containing water of crystallisation, used as a source of calcium ions for precipitation, flame and water-hardness experiments in school and college laboratories. Lab technicians buy it in a 200 g pack that comes with an MSDS, which makes it convenient stock for a teaching lab. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of chemistry consumables.

What Is Hydrated Calcium Chloride Used For?
A calcium chloride solution is a simple source of calcium ions. Adding sodium carbonate gives a white precipitate of calcium carbonate, and ammonium oxalate gives white calcium oxalate, so both reactions are used when teaching precipitation and when confirming calcium in salt analysis. A moistened sample on a clean wire loop turns a Bunsen flame brick-red.
Teachers also dissolve a little in distilled water to make artificially hard water for soap-lather comparisons: calcium chloride causes permanent hardness, which boiling does not remove but washing soda does. Because this grade already carries water, it is not the drying agent for desiccators or drying tubes; fused (anhydrous) calcium chloride is chosen for that job.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies analytical reagents such as Hydrated Calcium Chloride to school chemistry departments, colleges and training institutes, and to dealers who stock science store rooms. Buyers can combine this salt with other calcium compounds and glassware in one quotation. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Hydrated Calcium Chloride and fused calcium chloride?
Hydrated Calcium Chloride contains water of crystallisation, so it is used to make calcium ion solutions rather than to dry gases. Fused (anhydrous) calcium chloride has had that water removed and is the grade packed into drying tubes and desiccators.
Which hydrate is supplied as Hydrated Calcium Chloride SCI-581/252?
The Hydrated Calcium Chloride listing confirms analytical reagent grade, a 200 g pack and an MSDS, but it does not name the exact hydrate. If your method needs a specific hydrate, ask us through the contact page before ordering.
Can Hydrated Calcium Chloride be used to prepare hard water for experiments?
Yes. A small amount of Hydrated Calcium Chloride dissolved in distilled water gives permanently hard water for soap-lather tests, letting students compare the lather before and after treatment with washing soda.
What flame colour does Hydrated Calcium Chloride give?
Hydrated Calcium Chloride gives a brick-red flame when a moistened sample is held on a clean wire loop in a non-luminous Bunsen flame, which is one of the standard flame tests for calcium in salt analysis.
How long does Hydrated Calcium Chloride keep?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Hydrated Calcium Chloride in a closed container in a dry place, as it takes up moisture and can turn damp.
Is an MSDS included with Hydrated Calcium Chloride?
Yes. Each 200 g pack of Hydrated Calcium Chloride (SCI-581/252) is supplied with an MSDS, which gives handling, first-aid and storage guidance for the laboratory safety file.
