Calcium Oxide (Granules) (Product Code: SCI-571/159) is analytical reagent grade quicklime in granular form, used to demonstrate the strongly exothermic reaction of a metal oxide with water and to prepare limewater in school and college chemistry labs. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of lab chemicals for institutions.

Specifications

What Is Calcium Oxide (Quicklime) Used For?

Adding water drop by drop to a few granules of calcium oxide in a beaker produces a hissing, steaming reaction and a clear rise in temperature as slaked lime (calcium hydroxide) forms — the combination reaction described in many school science textbooks. Filtering a suspension of the product gives limewater for the carbon dioxide test.

The oxide also links to lessons on the lime cycle, in which limestone is heated to form quicklime, slaked with water and turned back into calcium carbonate as limewater absorbs carbon dioxide; college labs also use it to dry gases such as ammonia. Because quicklime is corrosive and reacts with moisture in the air and on skin, handle it with a spatula, wear goggles and gloves, and keep the lid tightly closed.

Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) (Product Code: SCI-568/160) is an analytical reagent grade manganese dioxide used mainly as a catalyst for preparing oxygen from hydrogen peroxide in school and college chemistry labs. It comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS, a convenient size because a catalyst is recovered and reused rather than used up. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Manganese Dioxide Used For?

The standard oxygen preparation adds a spatula of manganese dioxide to hydrogen peroxide solution in a conical flask; oxygen bubbles off rapidly, is collected over water and is identified because it relights a glowing splint. Filtering, drying and weighing the black solid afterwards shows that its mass is unchanged — the key evidence that it acts as a catalyst.

In college laboratories, manganese dioxide is heated with concentrated hydrochloric acid to generate chlorine, a reaction that must be carried out in a fume cupboard, and it is the oxidising agent in the zinc-carbon dry cells studied in electrochemistry. Avoid inhaling the dust and keep the oxide away from strong reducing agents and combustible materials.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 100 g packs, bearing in mind that recovered catalyst can be reused.
• Hydrogen peroxide and gas-collection glassware for the oxygen practical.
• Whether a separate, larger-pack manganese dioxide listing would suit heavier use.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Manganese Oxide IV. (Manganese dioxide) to teaching and testing laboratories as part of the lab chemicals it sources, with an MSDS in each pack.

Magnesium Oxide (Product Code: SCI-564/161) is an analytical reagent grade white magnesium oxide used to study the properties of a basic metal oxide and to prepare magnesium salts in school and college chemistry labs. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, giving students a pure sample to compare with the white ash formed when magnesium ribbon burns. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Magnesium Oxide Used For?

Shaking a little magnesium oxide with water and adding universal indicator or red litmus gives a weakly alkaline result, because a small amount forms magnesium hydroxide — the textbook example of a basic oxide from a metal. Adding the oxide to warm dilute hydrochloric or sulfuric acid until no more reacts produces magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate solution for crystallisation.

Its very high melting point explains why magnesium oxide is used as a refractory material for furnace linings, and it also appears in lessons on antacids that neutralise excess stomach acid. Keep the container closed, since the oxide slowly absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air, and avoid breathing the dust when weighing it.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies Magnesium Oxide to schools, colleges and laboratories from its range of sourced lab chemicals, with an MSDS in each pack. The magnesium metal, acids and indicators used in the same lessons can be added to one quotation for institutions, dealers and importers. See the ScienceLab profile for company information.

Zinc Oxide (Product Code: SCI-562/162) is an analytical reagent grade white zinc oxide used to demonstrate an amphoteric oxide and the colour change of a compound on heating in school and college chemistry labs. It comes in a 200 g pack with an MSDS for safe handling. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for teaching, testing and general laboratory use.

Specifications

What Is Zinc Oxide Used For?

Zinc oxide is the usual classroom example of an amphoteric oxide: one small sample dissolves in dilute hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride, and a second dissolves in sodium hydroxide solution to form a zincate, showing that it reacts with both acids and bases. Students compare this with basic oxides such as magnesium oxide, which react only with acids.

Heating a little zinc oxide in a dry boiling tube turns it yellow while hot and white again on cooling, a reversible change used in the dry tests of salt analysis to indicate zinc. It is also discussed as a white pigment and in rubber and ointment manufacture. Avoid breathing the dust and dispose of zinc residues as the MSDS directs, not down the drain.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies Zinc Oxide as one of the lab chemicals it sources for schools, colleges and analytical laboratories, packed with its MSDS. The acids, alkalis and heating tubes for the same practical can be included on one quotation for institutions, dealers and importers. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile.

Explore more in Laboratory Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Zinc Oxide SCI-562/162 used for?
Zinc Oxide SCI-562/162 is used to demonstrate amphoteric behaviour, to show the yellow-when-hot colour change in salt analysis and to prepare zinc salts. It also supports lessons on pigments and industrial uses of zinc compounds in school and college laboratories.

Why is Zinc Oxide called amphoteric?
Zinc Oxide is called amphoteric because it reacts with acids to form zinc salts and with alkalis such as sodium hydroxide to form zincates. Testing Zinc Oxide SCI-562/162 with both reagents side by side makes the idea clear to students.

Why does Zinc Oxide turn yellow when heated?
Zinc Oxide turns yellow when hot because heating drives a tiny amount of oxygen out of the crystal lattice, creating defects that absorb blue light; it turns white again on cooling. This reversible change with Zinc Oxide SCI-562/162 is a quick dry test for zinc.

What pack size and grade is Zinc Oxide SCI-562/162?

Potassium Permanganate (Product Code: SCI-560/163) is an analytical reagent grade oxidising agent used for redox titrations, diffusion demonstrations and oxygen preparation in school and college chemistry labs. Its intense purple colour lets it act as its own indicator in titrations, and it is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Permanganate Used For?

In volumetric analysis, potassium permanganate solution in a burette is run into acidified ferrous ammonium sulfate or oxalic acid solution; the purple colour vanishes until the end point, when a faint permanent pink shows that all the reducing agent has reacted, so no separate indicator is needed. It is a core reagent in any titration kit for school or college practical examinations.

A single crystal dropped into still water shows diffusion as purple streaks spread out, and a crystal placed at the edge of a heated beaker traces convection currents. Heating the solid releases oxygen, and dilute alkaline permanganate (Baeyer's reagent) tests for carbon-carbon double bonds. It is a strong oxidiser that stains skin and clothing brown, so keep it away from glycerin, alcohols and other organic matter, with which it can ignite.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 200 g packs needed for the year's titration practicals.
• Whether the separate, larger Potassium Permanganate listing suits bulk use.
• Burettes, conical flasks and ferrous ammonium sulfate to complete the titration sets.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Potassium Permanganate for teaching and analytical laboratories and ships it with its MSDS alongside burettes, flasks and other titration items. Institutional buyers completing vendor registration can use the company's CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. The ScienceLab profile has more background.

Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) (Product Code: SCI-558/164) is analytical reagent grade glycerin (propane-1,2,3-triol), a thick, clear liquid used for viscosity experiments, temporary slide mounting and general reagent work in physics, biology and chemistry labs. It is packed in a 250 ml pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, together with the apparatus it is used with.

Specifications

What Is Glycerin Used For?

Physics classes fill a tall measuring cylinder with glycerin and time a small steel ball as it falls through the liquid; once the ball reaches terminal velocity, the timing gives the viscosity through Stokes' law. Because glycerin's refractive index is close to that of ordinary glass, a glass rod dipped into it seems to vanish, a quick way to show why refraction needs a difference in refractive index.

Biology students use a drop of glycerin to mount temporary preparations that would otherwise dry out under the cover slip, and technicians wipe a thin film on glass tubing before easing it into a rubber stopper. Glycerin draws moisture from the air, so keep the pack closed, and store it apart from strong oxidisers such as potassium permanganate, with which it can ignite.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, sources Propantriol 1,2,3 (Glycerin) and supplies it with its MSDS as part of a lab chemicals range that sits alongside the apparatus used with it.

Sulphur (Powder) (Product Code: SCI-556/165) is an analytical reagent grade elemental sulphur powder used to demonstrate the properties of a non-metal and the difference between a mixture and a compound in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry teachers and lab assistants order it in a 100 g pack that arrives with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India for schools and colleges.

Specifications

What Is Sulphur Powder Used For?

The classic use is the iron and sulphur practical. Students stir sulphur powder with iron powder and show that a magnet still lifts the iron out, so the two elements are only mixed. After the mixture is heated in a hard-glass tube it glows, and the grey-black iron(II) sulphide left behind is no longer attracted by the magnet, which is the evidence that a compound has formed.

In a school chemistry lab the same powder also illustrates typical non-metal behaviour: it is yellow and brittle, does not dissolve in water and does not conduct electricity. A tiny amount burnt in a gas jar produces sulphur dioxide, whose solution turns blue litmus red, and molten sulphur poured into cold water gives plastic sulphur for lessons on allotropes. Carry out all heating in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated room, because sulphur dioxide is choking.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana. The company sources Sulphur (Powder) as an analytical reagent and dispatches each 100 g pack with its MSDS, so the school store can file the safety sheet next to the chemical.

Iron powder, magnets, test tube holders and litmus paper are listed by the same supplier, which lets a teacher request the whole non-metals practical on one enquiry for delivery in India and international markets. Background on the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

Aluminum Sulfate (Product Code: SCI-453/166) is an analytical reagent grade aluminium salt used to demonstrate coagulation in water treatment and to test for aluminium ions in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry and environmental science teachers order it as a 200 g pack that comes with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is Aluminum Sulfate Used For?

Aluminium sulfate is the coagulant used at many drinking-water plants, and a class can reproduce the process in a beaker. Stirred into muddy water that contains a little alkali, such as lime water, it forms a fluffy aluminium hydroxide floc that traps suspended clay and settles, leaving clearer water ready for filtration. Setting a treated and an untreated beaker side by side makes coagulation, sedimentation and filtration easy to compare.

In salt analysis, a solution of the salt gives a white gelatinous precipitate with sodium hydroxide that dissolves again in excess, the usual test for the aluminium ion, while barium chloride confirms the sulfate. Its solution is acidic because the aluminium ion hydrolyses, a handy example when a chemistry teaching kit covers why salt solutions are not always neutral. Wear goggles and gloves, as the solid and its solution irritate the eyes.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 200 g packs needed for each laboratory or store.
• Any hydration state or molar mass your method requires, so we can confirm the form of the batch.
• Companion reagents, such as sodium hydroxide or barium chloride, to be quoted on the same enquiry.
• The delivery location in India or abroad.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, sources Aluminum Sulfate for schools, colleges and environmental science laboratories and sends every 200 g pack with its MSDS.
