Potassium Chloride 100 g
Potassium Chloride 100 g (Product Code: SCI-583/253) is an analytical reagent grade potassium chloride (KCl) used to make salt bridges, conductivity solutions and solubility samples in school, college and university chemistry laboratories. Physical chemistry teachers choose the 100 g pack when only small volumes of solution are needed, and each pack comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Potassium Chloride Used For?
In electrochemistry practicals, a saturated potassium chloride solution set in agar, or soaked into a strip of filter paper, forms the salt bridge that joins the two half-cells of a Daniell cell. Potassium and chloride ions move at similar speeds, which keeps unwanted junction effects small. Solutions of known strength are also used to check conductivity cells before students measure unknown electrolytes.
Students plotting a solubility curve dissolve weighed portions in water at different temperatures and note where crystals reappear on cooling. In flame tests, potassium gives a lilac flame that sodium's yellow easily masks, so it is viewed through blue cobalt glass. KCl is one of the milder salts in the store, but goggles and gloves are still the rule when weighing and dissolving it.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Pack size: this listing is the 100 g pack (SCI-583/253); larger packs are listed separately.
- Number of packs for the batches of students you teach.
- Any conductivity, flame-test or salt-bridge apparatus to be quoted with it.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, which supplies reagents such as Potassium Chloride 100 g to colleges, polytechnics and schools running physical chemistry practicals, and to laboratory dealers. The salt can be quoted together with the electrochemistry glassware and apparatus in the same catalogue. The company profile gives more background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Potassium Chloride 100 g used in salt bridges?
Potassium Chloride 100 g is used in salt bridges because potassium and chloride ions travel through solution at almost the same rate, so the bridge completes the circuit between half-cells without adding a large junction potential to the measured cell voltage.
What grade is Potassium Chloride 100 g?
Potassium Chloride 100 g (SCI-583/253) is analytical reagent grade, suitable for preparing solutions of known concentration in teaching laboratories. It is packed as 100 g and supplied with an MSDS.
What flame colour does Potassium Chloride 100 g produce?
Potassium Chloride 100 g gives a lilac, pale violet flame. Traces of sodium can hide it behind a strong yellow colour, so students usually view the flame through blue cobalt glass to confirm potassium.
Is a bigger pack of potassium chloride available?
Yes. Besides Potassium Chloride 100 g, the ScienceLab catalogue lists Potassium Chloride 200g and Potassium Chloride 500 g. Mention the pack sizes and quantities you need when you ask for a quotation.
How should Potassium Chloride 100 g be stored, and does it expire?
Store Potassium Chloride 100 g sealed in a dry cupboard so it does not cake. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Can Potassium Chloride 100 g be ordered from outside India?
Yes. Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, supplies Potassium Chloride 100 g to buyers in India and international markets. Share the destination country and the number of packs when you send your enquiry.
