Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) (Product Code: SCI-579/251) is an analytical reagent grade iron(III) chloride, commonly called ferric chloride, used to prepare iron(III) test solutions and colloidal sols in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry teachers and lab assistants order it as a single 200 g pack that arrives with an MSDS for the store-room safety file. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier to institutions in India and international markets.

Specifications

What Is Iron Chloride (III) Used For?

In surface chemistry practicals, students add a dilute ferric chloride solution drop by drop to boiling distilled water to form a red-brown ferric hydroxide sol, then pass a beam of light through it to see the Tyndall effect. In salt analysis practicals, the same solution is used to show the confirmatory tests for iron(III): potassium ferrocyanide gives a deep Prussian blue, and a thiocyanate gives a blood-red colour.

The solution also turns blue litmus red because iron(III) ions hydrolyse in water, which makes it a clear classroom example of salt hydrolysis. The solid draws moisture from the air, so weigh it quickly and reclose the pack at once. Wear gloves and goggles, since the solution is corrosive and leaves brown stains on skin, clothing and bench tops.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Product code SCI-579/251 and the 200 g pack size.
• Number of packs needed per laboratory or per school.
• Companion reagents or storage bottles to be quoted together.
• Delivery location, within India or abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions

What quantity does Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) contain?
Iron Chloride (III) (200 g), code SCI-579/251, is a single 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade ferric chloride. An MSDS is supplied with it, so the safety information can be filed with your laboratory records.

Can Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) be used to make a ferric hydroxide sol?
Yes. Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) is the usual starting material for the ferric hydroxide sol practical: a dilute solution is added slowly to boiling distilled water until a clear red-brown colloid forms, which students then examine for light scattering.

Why is a ferric chloride solution acidic?
A solution made from Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) is acidic because iron(III) ions react with water and release hydrogen ions. That is why the solution turns blue litmus red and slowly corrodes metal tools left in contact with it.

How should Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) be stored?
Keep Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) tightly closed in a cool, dry reagent cupboard, away from metals and bases, because it absorbs moisture from air. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

What should a quotation request for Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) include?
For Iron Chloride (III) (200 g), give the product code SCI-579/251, the number of 200 g packs, any companion reagents or glassware to be quoted together, and the delivery city or country, then send it through the contact page.
