Powdered Iron (reduced)
Powdered Iron (reduced) (Product Code: SCI-427/129) is an analytical reagent grade fine iron powder used for mixture-and-compound, displacement and rusting experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. The 200 g pack arrives with an MSDS, and the fine particle form makes reactions with sulfur, acids and copper salts quick to observe. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, one of the school science lab equipment suppliers in India.

What Is Reduced Iron Powder Used For?
The classic practical heats a mixture of iron powder and sulfur: before heating, a magnet pulls the iron out of the yellow mixture, but after the glowing reaction the black iron(II) sulfide is no longer drawn out by the magnet in the same way, showing the difference between a mixture and a compound. Iron powder stirred into blue copper sulfate solution becomes coated with pink copper as the solution fades to pale green, a clear displacement reaction.
Students also sprinkle a pinch into a Bunsen flame to see bright sparks, showing how a large surface area speeds up combustion, and set up rusting tests comparing iron in dry air, boiled water and moist air. Keep the container tightly closed, as fine iron slowly oxidises in damp air, and wear eye protection whenever it is heated.
Supplier
Powdered Iron (reduced) is one of the reagent metals that Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources and supplies for chemistry teaching. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can order it together with sulfur, copper salts and magnets for the same set of practicals. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129 used for?
Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129 is used for iron and sulfur mixture-and-compound experiments, displacement of copper from copper sulfate, rusting studies and flame demonstrations of surface area. Its analytical reagent grade gives dependable observations in school and college chemistry.
What does “reduced” mean in Powdered Iron (reduced)?
“Reduced” means Powdered Iron (reduced) is iron powder obtained by chemically reducing iron oxide back to the metal, a fine and reactive form widely used as a laboratory reagent. The listing for SCI-427/129 gives its grade and pack size rather than a particle size.
How much iron powder is in each pack?
Each pack of Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129 contains 200 g of analytical reagent grade iron with an MSDS. Iron and sulfur practicals use small weighed portions, so tell us your number of student groups and the packs you need.
Is Powdered Iron (reduced) magnetic?
Yes. Powdered Iron (reduced) is strongly attracted to a magnet, which is why a magnet can separate it from sulfur in an unheated mixture. After heating, the iron sulfide formed does not respond in the same way, showing that a new compound has been made.
How should Powdered Iron (reduced) be stored?
The shelf life of Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129 depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store it sealed and dry, since fine iron slowly rusts in moist air.
Who supplies Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Powdered Iron (reduced) SCI-427/129 with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, alongside other metals and salts from the same chemicals list.
