Magnesium Oxide
Magnesium Oxide (Product Code: SCI-564/161) is an analytical reagent grade white magnesium oxide used to study the properties of a basic metal oxide and to prepare magnesium salts in school and college chemistry labs. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, giving students a pure sample to compare with the white ash formed when magnesium ribbon burns. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Magnesium Oxide Used For?
Shaking a little magnesium oxide with water and adding universal indicator or red litmus gives a weakly alkaline result, because a small amount forms magnesium hydroxide — the textbook example of a basic oxide from a metal. Adding the oxide to warm dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid until no more reacts produces magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate solution for crystallisation.
Its very high melting point explains why magnesium oxide is used as a refractory material for furnace linings, and it also appears in lessons on antacids that neutralise excess stomach acid. Keep the container closed, since the oxide slowly absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, and avoid breathing the dust when weighing it.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies Magnesium Oxide to schools, colleges and laboratories from its range of sourced lab chemicals, with an MSDS in each pack. The magnesium metal, acids and indicators used in the same lessons can be added to one quotation for institutions, dealers and importers. See the ScienceLab profile for company information.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 used for?
Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 is used to demonstrate the properties of a basic oxide, to prepare magnesium salts by neutralising acids, and in lessons on refractory materials and antacids. Its analytical reagent grade suits both school practicals and college analytical work.
What pack size is Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161?
Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 is supplied in a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade oxide with an MSDS. A second listing, Magnesium Oxide 200 g, offers the same quantity under a different product code if your records use that code.
Is Magnesium Oxide acidic or basic?
Magnesium Oxide is a basic oxide. It dissolves only slightly in water, giving a weakly alkaline solution, and it neutralises acids to form magnesium salts and water — both easy to show with Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 and an indicator.
How should Magnesium Oxide be stored?
Store Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 in a tightly closed container in a dry place, as it slowly takes up moisture and carbon dioxide from the air. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Magnesium Oxide SCI-564/161 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. It is a sourced chemical, dispatched with its MSDS and quotable with related magnesium compounds.
What should a Magnesium Oxide quote request include?
A Magnesium Oxide quote request should give the product code SCI-564/161, the number of 200 g packs, the delivery address and any related items such as magnesium strip or acids. Use the contact page or enquiry cart, and ScienceLab will confirm availability.
