Magnesium (Powder)
Magnesium (Powder) (Product Code: SCI-625/272) is analytical reagent grade magnesium metal powder used to demonstrate metal reactivity, hydrogen generation with dilute acids and the displacement of less reactive metals in school and college chemistry labs. It comes in a 50 g pack with an MSDS, a modest quantity that suits demonstrations and small-scale class work. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Magnesium Powder Used For?
Its large surface area makes magnesium powder react far faster than ribbon, which is exactly what rate-of-reaction lessons need: students add a small weighed portion to dilute hydrochloric acid and compare the fizzing, temperature rise and volume of hydrogen collected with results from strip. In displacement practicals, powder stirred into copper sulfate solution becomes coated with copper while the blue colour fades.
College organic labs also use magnesium metal to prepare Grignard reagents under strictly dry conditions. Treat the powder as a flammable solid: weigh out only what the lesson needs, keep it away from flames, water and oxidisers, and never tip unused powder back into the pack. A magnesium fire must not be tackled with water, so keep dry sand to hand and follow the MSDS.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Magnesium (Powder) with its MSDS and supplies it to schools, colleges, research laboratories and dealers. For vendor registration, the supplying company's CIN is U29309HR2020PTC087597 and its GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Because metal powders travel as flammable solids, share your delivery location so that we can advise on dispatch. Read more on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Magnesium (Powder) SCI-625/272 used for?
Magnesium (Powder) SCI-625/272 is used to show how a reactive metal behaves with dilute acids, oxygen and salt solutions, especially in rate-of-reaction and displacement practicals where its fine particles give a fast, clearly visible reaction.
How much magnesium powder is in the pack?
The Magnesium (Powder) pack holds 50 g of analytical reagent grade magnesium and comes with an MSDS. Departments needing more can look at the larger Magnesium (shavings or powder) listing or ask us for a combined quotation.
Why does magnesium powder react faster than magnesium ribbon?
Magnesium (Powder) reacts faster than ribbon because its tiny particles expose far more surface area to the acid or solution, so more collisions happen each second. Comparing the two forms is a classic way to teach how surface area affects reaction rate.
How should Magnesium (Powder) be stored?
Store Magnesium (Powder) in its tightly closed container in a cool, dry cabinet away from acids, oxidisers, water and sources of ignition. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
What precautions apply when using Magnesium (Powder)?
Magnesium (Powder) is a flammable solid, so keep it away from flames, wear goggles, dispense small amounts with a dry spatula and keep dry sand nearby. Water must never be used on burning magnesium; follow the MSDS supplied with the pack.
Who supplies Magnesium (Powder) SCI-625/272?
Magnesium (Powder) SCI-625/272 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with its MSDS, to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
