In the flame test, a little potassium chloride on a clean wire loop colours the flame lilac, and viewing it through blue cobalt glass hides any yellow from sodium traces so the potassium colour can be identified with confidence. Because potassium chloride dissolves endothermically, students also feel the solution cool as the salt goes in, a quick introduction to energy changes.
For solubility curves, known masses are dissolved in a fixed volume of water at different temperatures and the saturation point is recorded, giving a steadily rising curve. Electrochemistry classes use it to make salt bridges, because its two ions move at similar speeds, and solutions of known concentration are common reference standards for conductivity meters. Biology and agriculture lessons can also use it as an example of a potash fertiliser.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, sources Potassium Chloride 200g as an analytical reagent and supplies it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Several potassium chloride pack sizes appear in the catalogue, so a store can match the pack to how quickly it uses the salt. Read more on the ScienceLab profile.

What colour does Potassium Chloride give in a flame test?
Potassium Chloride 200g gives a lilac flame in the flame test. The colour is faint and easily masked by yellow from sodium impurities, so view the flame through blue cobalt glass and use a freshly cleaned wire loop for each sample.
Why does water get colder when Potassium Chloride dissolves?
Potassium Chloride absorbs heat from its surroundings as it dissolves, because more energy is needed to separate its ions than is released when they are hydrated. The drop in temperature makes Potassium Chloride 200g a simple demonstration of an endothermic process.
Can Potassium Chloride 200g be used for salt bridges?
Yes. Potassium Chloride 200g is suitable for preparing salt bridges, usually as a concentrated solution or set in agar, because potassium and chloride ions move at similar speeds and add little junction error. It is analytical reagent grade and supplied with its MSDS.
How should Potassium Chloride 200g be stored?
Keep Potassium Chloride 200g in a tightly closed container in a dry place, as the salt can cake if it picks up moisture. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Which Potassium Chloride pack should I order?
Potassium Chloride 200g SCI-162/139 suits a laboratory running flame tests and solubility work through the year. The catalogue also offers smaller and larger potassium chloride packs under separate codes, so state the code and number of packs you need in your enquiry.
Who supplies Potassium Chloride 200g?
Potassium Chloride 200g SCI-162/139 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources the reagent and sends it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
