Magnesium (shavings or powder) (Product Code: SCI-222/151) is analytical reagent grade magnesium metal in finely divided form, used to study how a reactive metal behaves with acids, oxygen and salt solutions in school and college chemistry labs. It is packed in 100 g quantities and comes with an MSDS for safe handling. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of the chemistry consumables it sources for institutions.

Specifications

What Are Magnesium Shavings and Powder Used For?

Because finely divided magnesium has a large surface area, it reacts quickly, which suits rate-of-reaction practicals: students add a weighed amount to dilute hydrochloric acid and collect or time the hydrogen given off, then repeat with a strip of the same metal to see how particle size changes the speed. It is also used in reactivity-series and displacement experiments, for example reducing copper ions in copper sulfate solution to copper metal.

In lessons on combustion, a small sample heated in a crucible gains mass as it turns into magnesium oxide. Magnesium powder is flammable and burns with an intense white light, so teachers dispense only small amounts, keep the stock away from flames and acids, and never use water on a magnesium fire; dry sand is the usual choice. Store the closed container in a dry chemical cabinet.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Which form you need — shavings or powder — since this listing covers both.
• The number of 100 g packs your practical classes will use during the year.
• Companion items for the same experiments, such as dilute acid or a crucible, to add to the quotation.

Magnesium (Strip) (Product Code: SCI-226/152) is a thin magnesium metal ribbon used to demonstrate combustion, oxide formation and metal-acid reactions in school and college chemistry lessons. The strip is 4 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick and comes as a 5 metre length, so it can be cut into many short pieces for class experiments. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Magnesium Ribbon Used For?

The classic use is burning magnesium ribbon: a short piece held in crucible tongs is lit in a Bunsen flame, burns with a dazzling white light and leaves a white ash of magnesium oxide, a clear example of a chemical change and a combination reaction. Dissolving the ash in water and testing it with red litmus shows that the oxide is basic.

Short lengths also react with dilute hydrochloric acid to release hydrogen and are used in reactivity-series and displacement experiments in school chemistry labs across India. Rub the strip with sandpaper first to remove the dull oxide coating, cut only the length each group needs, and warn students not to look directly at the burning metal.

What to Specify When Ordering

Sodium Metallic (Product Code: SCI-229/153) is analytical reagent grade sodium metal used to demonstrate the vigorous reaction of an alkali metal with water in school and college chemistry teaching. Supplied in a 25 g pack with an MSDS, it gives teachers enough metal for many small demonstration pieces without holding a large stock of a reactive substance. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Metal Used For?

Sodium is the standard example for Group 1 chemistry. A piece the size of a rice grain, dropped onto water in a glass trough behind a safety screen, melts into a silvery ball and skates over the surface as hydrogen is released, while a few drops of phenolphthalein in the water turn pink as sodium hydroxide forms. Cutting a small piece also shows how soft the metal is and how quickly its shiny surface tarnishes in air.

Only the teacher should handle the metal, using dry forceps and a knife on a dry tile, with the class wearing safety goggles at a safe distance. Blot off the storage oil before use, never let sodium touch the skin, and return unused pieces at once to their oil-filled container.

Silver Nitrate (Product Code: SCI-234/154) is an analytical reagent grade silver salt used to test for chloride, bromide and iodide ions and to carry out precipitation titrations in school, college and testing laboratories. It is supplied in a 250 g pack with an MSDS, a practical quantity for departments that make up silver nitrate solution for regular salt analysis. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Silver Nitrate Used For?

In qualitative salt analysis, a few drops of dilute silver nitrate solution added to a sample acidified with nitric acid give a white precipitate with chloride, a cream precipitate with bromide and a yellow precipitate with iodide; adding ammonia solution then helps to tell them apart. In quantitative work, silver nitrate is the titrant for determining chloride in water or salt samples by precipitation (argentometric) titration.

Students also meet it in the silver mirror (Tollens') test for aldehydes, which uses silver nitrate with ammonia solution; prepare that reagent fresh and never store it. Silver nitrate darkens in light and leaves black stains on skin and clothing, so keep the solid and its solutions in amber bottles, wear gloves and goggles, and make up only as much solution as the class needs.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 250 g packs needed for the year's salt analysis and titrations.
• Whether a smaller quantity from the separate Silver Nitrate (Crystals) listing would suit occasional use.

Potassium Nitrate (Product Code: SCI-339/155) is an analytical reagent grade nitrate salt used for solubility, crystallisation and thermal decomposition experiments in school and college chemistry labs. It comes in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, and its steep rise in solubility with temperature makes it a common choice for plotting solubility curves. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Nitrate Used For?

A common solubility experiment dissolves a weighed amount of potassium nitrate in a fixed volume of water in a boiling tube, warms the tube until all the solid dissolves, then records the temperature at which crystals reappear on cooling. Repeating this with different masses builds a solubility curve, and the same behaviour is used to teach purification by recrystallisation.

Heating a small amount of the solid demonstrates the thermal decomposition of a nitrate, releasing oxygen that relights a glowing splint, and a flame test on the salt shows the lilac colour of potassium. Potassium nitrate is an oxidising agent, so keep it away from sulfur, charcoal, sugar and other combustible materials, and heat only small quantities in clean glassware.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and works as a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, sourcing Potassium Nitrate for schools, colleges and testing laboratories and sending it with its MSDS.

Ammonium Nitrate (Product Code: SCI-741/156) is an analytical reagent grade ammonium salt used to demonstrate endothermic dissolving and to test for ammonium and nitrate ions in school and college chemistry labs. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, enough for repeated class investigations of the temperature change on dissolving. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Ammonium Nitrate Used For?

When ammonium nitrate dissolves in water the solution becomes noticeably colder, which makes it a clear example of an endothermic process. Students stir a measured mass into water in an insulated cup or beaker and record the fall in temperature with a thermometer, and the same effect explains how instant cold packs work.

In qualitative analysis, warming the salt with sodium hydroxide solution releases ammonia gas, which turns damp red litmus paper blue — the standard test for the ammonium ion — and the salt also features in lessons on nitrogen fertilisers. Ammonium nitrate is a strong oxidiser that can decompose violently if heated strongly or contaminated, so never heat it on its own, keep it away from fuels and powdered metals, and store it cool and dry.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies Ammonium Nitrate to schools, colleges and laboratories as part of the lab chemicals it sources, and each pack is dispatched with an MSDS.
