Nickel Sulfate
Nickel Sulfate (Product Code: SCI-721/317) is an analytical reagent grade nickel(II) salt used to study transition-metal colour, complex-ion formation and electroplating chemistry in senior school and college laboratories. Because nickel compounds can cause skin allergy, it suits supervised practicals where students wear gloves, and each 100 g pack is supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab consumables supplier in India.

What Is Nickel Sulfate Used For?
Nickel Sulfate dissolves to give a green solution of hydrated nickel(II) ions, a clear starting point for lessons on why transition-metal compounds are coloured. Sodium hydroxide then produces a pale green nickel(II) hydroxide precipitate, and excess ammonia solution converts it into a deep blue-violet ammine complex, showing ligand exchange in a single test tube.
In industry, nickel sulfate is a main ingredient of nickel-plating baths, so college electrochemistry courses use it to discuss how metals deposit on a cathode. Its dust is classed as a carcinogen by inhalation and as a skin and respiratory sensitiser. Use small amounts, wear nitrile gloves and goggles, avoid dust and collect all nickel waste separately.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 100 g packs for your practical groups.
- The hydration form, if your experiment or syllabus names one.
- Whether gloves and goggles should be quoted with the reagent.
- The delivery address, in India or overseas.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Nickel Sulfate under its ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, for colleges and schools running transition-metal practicals. Institutions registering a new vendor can record the supplying company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Legal Entity Identifier 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Further company information is on the ScienceLab profile page.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Colour and complex-ion work with Nickel Sulfate usually needs:
- Nickel Chloride — an alternative nickel(II) salt for colour comparisons.
- Ammonium Hydroxide (ammonia water) — forms the blue-violet nickel ammine complex.
- Sodium Hydroxide 500 g — precipitates green nickel(II) hydroxide from the solution.
- Gloves, Nitrile, Orange — protects skin from nickel salts during the practical.
- Safety Goggles — eye protection while handling nickel and ammonia solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nickel Sulfate used for in chemistry labs?
Nickel Sulfate is used to show the colour of transition-metal ions, to form nickel hydroxide and nickel ammine complexes in ligand-exchange experiments, and to discuss nickel electroplating in college electrochemistry. This listing is an analytical reagent grade 100 g pack with MSDS.
Why is Nickel Sulfate solution green?
Nickel Sulfate solution is green because nickel(II) ions surrounded by water molecules absorb light at the red and violet ends of the spectrum and transmit green. Replacing the water ligands with ammonia changes the light absorbed, which is why the colour shifts to blue-violet.
Is Nickel Sulfate safe for school students?
Nickel Sulfate needs careful handling: it can cause skin allergy and its dust is classed as a carcinogen by inhalation. Many schools keep it for senior or college classes, using small volumes of solution, nitrile gloves, goggles and supervised disposal as the supplied MSDS describes.
Which form of Nickel Sulfate does this listing supply?
This Nickel Sulfate listing (SCI-721/317) is analytical reagent grade in a 100 g pack, but it does not state whether the salt is anhydrous or hydrated. If your method specifies a hydrate, mention it when enquiring so we can confirm the form before quoting.
What is the shelf life of Nickel Sulfate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Nickel Sulfate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack sealed and labelled in a locked chemical cupboard.
What details are needed to quote for Nickel Sulfate?
To quote for Nickel Sulfate we need the number of 100 g packs, any required hydrate and the delivery address in India or abroad. Institutions can also ask Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for its GSTIN and LEI for vendor registration.
Request a Quote
Request a Nickel Sulfate quotation through our contact page with your pack quantity and destination, or place it in the enquiry cart alongside gloves and goggles for the class. We will confirm pricing, form and the batch expiry date.
