Nickel Chloride
Nickel Chloride (Product Code: SCI-592/257) is an analytical reagent grade nickel(II) chloride used to show the colour chemistry, complex formation and electroplating of nickel in college and senior school laboratories. Its solutions are green, and it is supplied in a 100 g pack together with an MSDS, a convenient quantity for demonstrations and small-group practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Nickel Chloride Used For?
Nickel(II) ions give pale green solutions. Adding ammonia first precipitates green nickel hydroxide, which then dissolves in excess ammonia to give a deep blue-violet ammine complex, a clear classroom demonstration of ligand exchange. In salt analysis, nickel is confirmed with dimethylglyoxime in ammoniacal solution, which gives a bright rose-red precipitate.
Vocational and electrochemistry classes use nickel salt solutions in electroplating demonstrations, depositing a thin nickel layer on a cleaned copper or brass object connected as the cathode. Nickel compounds can cause skin allergy and are harmful if dust is inhaled or swallowed, so use gloves, goggles and a well-ventilated bench, and collect used solutions as heavy-metal waste.
Supplier
Colleges, polytechnic workshops and school laboratories obtain Nickel Chloride from ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala. The company supplies the reagent in its listed 100 g pack and can quote it alongside electrodes and glassware from the same catalogue when an enquiry asks for them.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colour is a Nickel Chloride solution?
A solution of Nickel Chloride is green because of hydrated nickel(II) ions. Adding excess ammonia turns it into a deep blue-violet complex, which makes Nickel Chloride a popular salt for showing colour changes in transition metal chemistry.
How is nickel confirmed using Nickel Chloride in salt analysis?
Nickel is confirmed by adding dimethylglyoxime to an ammoniacal solution of Nickel Chloride, which gives a bright rose-red precipitate. The test is highly specific for nickel and is a standard step in qualitative inorganic analysis.
Can Nickel Chloride be used for nickel plating experiments?
Yes. Nickel Chloride can supply nickel ions for classroom electroplating, in which a cleaned metal object connected as the cathode receives a thin nickel coating. Plating quality depends on the bath recipe and current, so follow a tested method.
What safety precautions apply to Nickel Chloride?
Nickel Chloride can cause skin sensitisation and is harmful if its dust is inhaled or swallowed. Wear gloves and goggles, weigh it where dust will not spread, read the MSDS supplied with the pack and dispose of residues as heavy-metal waste.
What is the pack size and shelf life of Nickel Chloride SCI-592/257?
Nickel Chloride SCI-592/257 is sold as a 100 g pack of analytical reagent. 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 Nickel Chloride SCI-592/257?
Nickel Chloride SCI-592/257 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
