Nitric Acid
Nitric Acid (Product Code: SCI-911/121) is an analytical reagent grade oxidising mineral acid used for reactions with metals, preparing nitrate salts and qualitative tests in senior school, college and analytical chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 500 ml pack with an MSDS, which lab staff should read before first use because the acid is both corrosive and a strong oxidiser. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which also supplies school chemistry lab equipment in India.

What Is Nitric Acid Used For?
Nitric acid shows students how an oxidising acid differs from hydrochloric or sulfuric acid: with copper it gives off brown nitrogen dioxide and forms a blue copper nitrate solution instead of releasing hydrogen, a reaction to demonstrate only inside a fume cupboard. It is also part of salt analysis in school practicals, where dilute nitric acid acidifies a sample before the silver nitrate test for halide ions. Colleges use it to dissolve metal oxides and carbonates when preparing nitrate salts for crystallisation.
Nitric acid stains skin yellow and attacks many organic materials, so wear goggles and acid-resistant gloves and keep it well away from alcohols, paper, wood and sawdust. Give it its own section of an acid cabinet, separate from organic acids such as glacial acetic acid, and never pour waste nitric acid into a container that holds organic solvents.
Supplier
Nitric Acid is one of the analytical reagents that ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, sources and supplies to schools, colleges and analytical laboratories. The company handles enquiries from dealers and importers in India and international markets and quotes the acid together with the glassware and safety items a practical needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 used for?
Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 is used to demonstrate oxidising-acid reactions with metals such as copper, to acidify samples in halide tests and to prepare nitrate salts. Its analytical reagent grade suits qualitative and quantitative chemistry in colleges and senior school laboratories.
How much Nitric Acid is in one pack?
One pack of Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 holds 500 ml of analytical reagent grade acid and is supplied with an MSDS. Multiply by the number of laboratories or practical groups you are equipping and give us the total when requesting a quotation.
Why does Nitric Acid need separate storage?
Nitric Acid is a strong oxidiser as well as a corrosive acid, so it can react violently with organic materials, alcohols and some metals. Store Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 apart from organic acids and solvents, ideally in a dedicated section of an acid cabinet.
What is the shelf life of Nitric Acid SCI-911/121?
The shelf life of Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keeping the bottle closed and out of direct sunlight helps it stay in good condition.
Is Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 suitable for school laboratories?
Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 is used in senior school and college chemistry under teacher supervision, usually after dilution. Check your school chemical safety policy and use the supplied MSDS to plan fume cupboard use and protective equipment before students handle it.
Who supplies Nitric Acid SCI-911/121?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Nitric Acid SCI-911/121 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Mention your destination in the enquiry, as oxidising acids ship under dangerous-goods rules.
