Ammonium Dichromate (Product Code: SCI-483/206) is an analytical reagent grade orange oxidising salt used for teacher-led thermal decomposition demonstrations and redox chemistry in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 200 g with its MSDS, the largest pack among the three dichromate salts in this reagent range. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to school chemistry lab stores that keep a controlled stock of oxidisers.

Specifications

What Is Ammonium Dichromate Used For?

Ammonium dichromate is best known for the “volcano” demonstration: when a small heap is ignited, it decomposes with sparks into a fluffy green mound of chromium(III) oxide while releasing nitrogen and steam. One short experiment shows an exothermic decomposition, a colour change from orange to green and a dramatic increase in the apparent volume of the solid.

Because it is a hexavalent chromium compound — toxic, carcinogenic and a strong oxidiser — many schools now restrict the demonstration to teachers working inside a fume cupboard, or show it on video instead. Wear chemical-resistant gloves and goggles, keep the salt away from combustible materials and reducing agents, and collect chromium residues for hazardous-waste disposal rather than washing them down the sink.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, which supplies Ammonium Dichromate for demonstration and teaching use along with fume cupboards, protective wear and spill equipment. Laboratories, colleges and distributors in India and international markets can source an entire oxidiser store through one enquiry. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens when Ammonium Dichromate is heated?
When Ammonium Dichromate is heated or ignited it decomposes with glowing sparks into green chromium(III) oxide, nitrogen gas and water vapour. The orange-to-green change and the swelling of the solid make it a memorable demonstration of an exothermic decomposition.

Is Ammonium Dichromate safe for student practicals?
Ammonium Dichromate is toxic, carcinogenic and a strong oxidiser, so it is generally unsuitable for hands-on student work. Where it is used, a trained teacher should demonstrate it in a fume cupboard with gloves and goggles, following the MSDS and local chemical safety rules.

How much Ammonium Dichromate comes in one pack?
Each pack of Ammonium Dichromate (SCI-483/206) holds 200 g of analytical reagent grade salt and is supplied with its MSDS. A demonstration uses only a small heap, so tell us how many packs your chemical store needs for the teaching year.

How should Ammonium Dichromate be stored and disposed of?
Store Ammonium Dichromate tightly closed in a cool, dry, locked oxidiser cabinet away from organic matter, fuels and reducing agents. Collect the green residue and any spilt material as chromium-containing hazardous waste and follow your local disposal rules instead of rinsing it into drains.

What is the shelf life of Ammonium Dichromate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so a single figure is not quoted for Ammonium Dichromate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and inspect the pack for caking or contamination before each use.

Potassium Dichromate (Product Code: SCI-485/207) is an analytical reagent grade oxidising agent used for redox titrations and for identifying alcohols and reducing agents in school, college and university chemistry laboratories. Teachers running volumetric analysis practicals order it as a 100 g pack supplied with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Dichromate Used For?

In volumetric analysis, potassium dichromate is a classic titrant for iron(II): a standard solution oxidises ferrous ammonium sulphate in dilute sulphuric acid, and a redox indicator such as diphenylamine marks the end point. Because the solid does not absorb moisture and gives a stable solution, teachers often prepare the standard by direct weighing — confirm the assay of your batch before relying on this.

Acidified potassium dichromate is also the reagent for classifying alcohols: primary and secondary alcohols turn the orange solution green as chromium(VI) is reduced to chromium(III), while tertiary alcohols leave it unchanged. The same colour change detects sulphur dioxide. It is toxic and carcinogenic, so use gloves, goggles and small volumes and collect chromium waste separately — precautions that belong in any titration kit prepared for students.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies Potassium Dichromate together with the burettes, conical flasks and partner reagents that redox titrations require. The Ambala, Haryana company works with schools, colleges, testing laboratories and dealers throughout India and international markets. Learn more on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

For dichromate titrations and alcohol tests, laboratories usually order these alongside Potassium Dichromate:

• Burette — delivers the dichromate solution drop by drop to the end point.
• Ferrous Ammonium sulphate — the iron(II) salt titrated against dichromate.
• Sulphuric Acid Dilute — acidifies both the titration mixture and the alcohol test.
• Conical Flask — holds the sample while it is titrated and swirled.
• Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) — a primary alcohol for demonstrating the orange-to-green change.

Find further reagents and glassware in our Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Potassium Dichromate used in redox titrations?
Potassium Dichromate is used in redox titrations because it is a strong, predictable oxidising agent whose solid is not hygroscopic, so standard solutions can be made accurately and remain stable. It is commonly titrated against iron(II) salts such as ferrous ammonium sulphate in dilute sulphuric acid.

How does Potassium Dichromate test for alcohols?
Warmed with a primary or secondary alcohol in dilute sulphuric acid, orange Potassium Dichromate solution turns green as the chromium is reduced. Tertiary alcohols leave the colour unchanged, so the test helps students classify alcohols during organic chemistry practicals.

What pack size and grade is Potassium Dichromate supplied in?
Potassium Dichromate (SCI-485/207) is supplied as a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade, with the MSDS included. For titration classes with many student groups, specify the number of packs and we will quote the complete quantity.

What precautions are needed when handling Potassium Dichromate?
Potassium Dichromate is toxic, a skin sensitiser and carcinogenic, so handle it with chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and a lab coat, avoid raising dust and never pipette its solutions by mouth. Collect all chromium-containing waste separately for disposal as advised in the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Potassium Dichromate?
The shelf life of Potassium Dichromate depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not publish a fixed period. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack closed in a dry oxidiser cabinet.

Can a certificate of analysis be requested for Potassium Dichromate?
If your titration work needs a documented assay for Potassium Dichromate, ask whether a certificate of analysis is available for the specific batch when you enquire through our contact page. We will tell you which documents can accompany the order besides the MSDS.

Is Potassium Dichromate made by ScienceLab?
No. Potassium Dichromate is a chemical that Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, supplies rather than produces. The company sources analytical reagents and dispatches them together with laboratory equipment to buyers in India and international markets.

Sodium Dichromate (Product Code: SCI-487/208) is an analytical reagent grade dichromate salt used as a strong, water-soluble oxidising agent in organic and inorganic chemistry practicals at colleges and research laboratories. It comes as a 100 g pack with its MSDS and is chosen where a more soluble dichromate than the potassium salt is needed. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Dichromate Used For?

Sodium dichromate dissolves far more readily in water than potassium dichromate, so it is the usual choice for concentrated oxidising mixtures with sulphuric acid in organic chemistry — for example, oxidising a secondary alcohol such as cyclohexanol to its ketone and then recovering the product with a distillation apparatus. The orange-to-green colour change shows students that the oxidation has taken place.

Unlike the potassium salt, sodium dichromate absorbs moisture from the air, so it is not used as a primary standard for titrations and must be kept tightly sealed. It is a toxic, carcinogenic hexavalent chromium compound: weigh it inside a fume cupboard, wear gloves and eye protection, and keep it apart from organic solvents and reducing agents.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates under the ScienceLab name and supplies Sodium Dichromate as part of an oxidiser range for college and research chemistry. Tender and institutional buyers can register the supplying company as a vendor using its CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Based in Ambala, Haryana, it serves India and international markets; see the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Oxidation practicals with Sodium Dichromate typically draw on these reagents and apparatus:

• Sulphuric Acid Concentrated — acidifies the dichromate oxidising mixture.
• Distillation Apparatus — separates the aldehyde or ketone formed by oxidation.
• Liebig Condenser — condenses volatile products as they distil over.
• Sodium Chromate — the yellow chromate salt for chromate–dichromate equilibrium work.
• Potassium Dichromate — the non-hygroscopic alternative for titration standards.

For more chemicals and glassware, visit the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Sodium Dichromate different from Potassium Dichromate?
Sodium Dichromate is much more soluble in water than potassium dichromate, which suits concentrated oxidising mixtures, but it absorbs moisture from air. Potassium dichromate is therefore preferred for accurately weighed titration standards, while the sodium salt is favoured for preparative oxidations.

What reactions is Sodium Dichromate used for?
Sodium Dichromate acidified with sulphuric acid oxidises primary alcohols to aldehydes or carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones in college organic chemistry. It is also used to demonstrate the chromate–dichromate equilibrium and the colour change as chromium(VI) is reduced to chromium(III).

How should Sodium Dichromate be stored?
Keep Sodium Dichromate in a tightly sealed container inside a dry, locked oxidiser cabinet, because it picks up moisture and reacts strongly with organic materials. Store it away from solvents, fuels and reducing agents and follow the storage section of the MSDS supplied with the pack.

What quantity of Sodium Dichromate is in each pack?
Each pack of Sodium Dichromate (SCI-487/208) contains 100 g of analytical reagent grade material, supplied with its MSDS. Laboratories that run oxidation practicals for several student batches can order multiple packs in a single quotation.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Dichromate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, and because Sodium Dichromate absorbs moisture, good storage matters a great deal. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and reseal the container immediately after each use.

Who supplies Sodium Dichromate to institutions?
Sodium Dichromate is supplied to schools, colleges, research institutes and dealers by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company handles quotations, packing and dispatch for buyers in India and international markets through a single point of contact.

Dikloretan (Product Code: SCI-489/209) is an analytical reagent grade chlorinated solvent (dichloroethane) used for liquid–liquid extraction and for dissolving non-polar organic compounds in college and research chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 100 ml with its MSDS for labs that need a dense, water-immiscible solvent. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of laboratory chemicals.

Specifications

What Is Dikloretan Used For?

Dichloroethane is denser than water and does not mix with it, so in a separating funnel it forms the lower layer — a useful contrast to lighter solvents such as ether or cyclohexane when students learn extraction technique. It dissolves fats, oils, resins and many organic compounds, and colleges use it as a reaction and extraction solvent and in lessons on halogenoalkanes.

The name Dikloretan is a non-English spelling of dichloroethane; most laboratories using this solvent mean 1,2-dichloroethane (ethylene dichloride), so confirm the isomer when you order. It is flammable, toxic by inhalation and a potential carcinogen, so dispense it only in a fume cupboard, wear gloves suited to chlorinated solvents, keep it away from flames and collect used solvent as halogenated waste.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Dikloretan to laboratories that need a halogenated extraction solvent, along with the separating funnels and fume cupboards used to handle it. The company works from Ambala, Haryana, and supplies education and research buyers across India and international markets. Visit the ScienceLab profile page for more about the company.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Extraction work with Dikloretan is usually set up with these items:

• Separating Funnel 500ml — for extractions in which the dense solvent forms the lower layer.
• Trichloromethane (Chloroform) — another dense chlorinated solvent for comparison.
• Polypropylene Ducted Fume Cupboard — vents chlorinated solvent vapour out of the room.
• Reagent Bottle Narrow Mouth, Amber Glass — stores small working quantities away from light.
• Gloves, Chemical Resistant — hand protection while dispensing the solvent.

The complete Laboratory Equipment category lists further solvents, reagents and glassware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dikloretan the same as dichloroethane?
Yes, Dikloretan is a non-English spelling of dichloroethane, a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. Laboratory use normally refers to 1,2-dichloroethane, also called ethylene dichloride; if your method specifies a particular isomer or grade, state it in your enquiry so we can confirm before dispatch.

Why does Dikloretan form the lower layer in a separating funnel?
Dikloretan (dichloroethane) is denser than water and immiscible with it, so it settles below the aqueous layer in a separating funnel. Students therefore run off the organic extract through the tap first, the opposite of what happens with lighter solvents such as ether.

What pack size is Dikloretan available in?
Dikloretan (SCI-489/209) is listed as a 100 ml pack of analytical reagent grade and is supplied with its MSDS. For larger extraction courses, tell us the number of packs you need and we will quote the full quantity.

What safety precautions apply to Dikloretan?
Dikloretan is flammable, toxic if inhaled and a potential carcinogen. Use it only in a working fume cupboard, keep ignition sources away, wear goggles and gloves suited to chlorinated solvents, and collect all residues as halogenated waste as described in the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Dikloretan?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is given for Dikloretan. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, ventilated solvent store.

Who supplies Dikloretan on this site?
Dikloretan on scilabexport.com is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources solvents and reagents for school, college and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.

Denatured Ethanol (Product Code: SCI-493/211) is ethyl alcohol made unfit for drinking by added denaturants, used as a general-purpose solvent, cleaning agent and spirit-lamp fuel in school and college laboratories. It comes in a bulk 5 liters container with its MSDS and is listed as analytical reagent grade, suiting any school laboratory setup in India that uses alcohol in several practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Denatured Ethanol Used For?

Biology teachers rely on denatured ethanol for the leaf starch test: after a leaf is softened in boiling water, it is placed in a boiling tube of ethanol warmed in hot water — never over a naked flame — until the chlorophyll dissolves out and the pale leaf can be stained with iodine. The same solvent removes grease and marker ink from glassware, wipes down benches and microscope stages, and fuels spirit lamps where piped gas is not available.

The denaturants that make it cheaper and non-potable can interfere with analytical work, so use pure ethanol wherever a method specifies a defined alcohol. Decant the bulk stock into smaller labelled bottles for class use, keep the main container sealed in a flammables store and treat every portion as highly flammable. Handled this way, it is one of the most useful lab consumables in a science department.

What to Specify When Ordering

• How many 5 liter containers you need for the term or the year.
• Whether the denatured grade suits your work, or whether a method calls for pure ethanol instead.
• Whether you need extra MSDS copies for each laboratory that will store it.
• Any alcohol lamps, water baths or dispensing bottles to be quoted with it.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, supplies Denatured Ethanol in bulk containers for science departments that use alcohol across biology, chemistry and general lab work. Operating from Ambala, Haryana, the company serves schools, colleges, training institutes and dealers in India and international markets. More information is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

These products are often ordered with Denatured Ethanol for starch tests, heating and cleaning:

• Ethanol (ethyl alcohol) — pure ethanol for methods that cannot tolerate denaturants.
• Denatured Ethanol (Alcohol for burning) — the listing intended specifically as burner fuel.
• Water Bath — warms the alcohol gently during the leaf starch test.
• Potassium Iodine-Iodine Solution — stains the decolourised leaf to reveal starch.
• Alcohol Lamp 150 ml — a spirit lamp that burns denatured alcohol.

Other consumables and apparatus are listed in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Denatured Ethanol used for in a school lab?
Denatured Ethanol is used to decolourise leaves in the starch test, to clean grease from glassware and benches, and as fuel for spirit lamps. Its lower cost compared with pure ethanol makes it the practical choice for these everyday jobs in school and college laboratories.

Can Denatured Ethanol replace pure ethanol in every experiment?
No. Denatured Ethanol contains added denaturants that make it unfit to drink and may affect sensitive analyses, extractions or preparations. Where a method specifies pure or absolute ethanol, order that grade instead, and keep the denatured grade for cleaning, fuel and routine decolourising work.

How much Denatured Ethanol is in one container?
Denatured Ethanol (SCI-493/211) is supplied in a 5 liters container with its MSDS, and the listing describes it as analytical reagent grade. Decant it into small labelled bottles for classroom use and keep the bulk container sealed in a flammables store.

Why is Denatured Ethanol warmed in hot water instead of over a flame?
Denatured Ethanol is highly flammable and its vapour can catch fire from a burner. Warming the boiling tube in hot water, with all flames turned off, heats the alcohol gently without an ignition source, which is why the leaf starch test uses this method.

What is the shelf life of Denatured Ethanol?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period for Denatured Ethanol. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep containers tightly closed to limit evaporation.

Who supplies the Denatured Ethanol listed here?
The Denatured Ethanol on this page is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources solvents, fuels and reagents for school, college and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.

Dietary Ether (Product Code: SCI-497/213) is an analytical reagent grade ether solvent, normally ordered by laboratories as diethyl ether, used for solvent extraction and organic preparations in college and research chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 250 ml with its MSDS, a practical size for teaching labs that keep only small volumes of this very volatile liquid. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside other chemistry lab equipment in India.

Specifications

What Is Dietary Ether Used For?

Diethyl ether is the traditional solvent for drawing organic compounds out of water in a separating funnel: it floats as the upper layer, dissolves a wide range of organic substances and evaporates easily afterwards, leaving the product behind. College courses also use it to extract fats and oils from food or seed samples, to wash crystals and as the dry solvent for Grignard reactions.

It is extremely flammable and its heavy vapour can travel along a bench to a distant flame, so work in a fume cupboard with every burner in the school or college lab turned off, and evaporate it on a warm water bath rather than over direct heat. Opened bottles can build up explosive peroxides with age, so date the bottle when first opened and keep it tightly closed, cool and away from light. Ask your safety officer how to dispose of old stock rather than keeping it indefinitely.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies Dietary Ether to teaching and research laboratories that carry out extractions, together with separating funnels, water baths and ventilation equipment. The company is located in Ambala, Haryana, and dispatches to buyers in India and international markets. Read about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Ether extractions and safe solvent handling usually involve the following items:

• Diethyl Ether — the listing under the standard chemical name; compare before ordering.
• Separating Funnel (Separator) — for extractions in which ether forms the upper layer.
• Electric Water Bath Rectangular — evaporates ether extracts without an open flame.
• Polypropylene Inverted Mobile Fume Cabinet — a movable enclosure for volatile solvent work.
• Hazard Warning Tape: Flammable — marks shelves and cabinets holding highly flammable liquids.

Further solvents and apparatus appear in our Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Dietary Ether the same as diethyl ether?
Dietary Ether is a non-standard catalogue name for an ether solvent that laboratories normally order as diethyl ether. Because the name differs, state “diethyl ether” and the grade you need in your enquiry, and we will confirm the exact product before dispatch.

What pack size is Dietary Ether supplied in?
Dietary Ether (SCI-497/213) comes in a 250 ml pack of analytical reagent grade, supplied with its MSDS. Small packs suit teaching labs, because ether is best bought in quantities that will be used soon after the bottle is opened.

Why is Dietary Ether dangerous near flames?
Dietary Ether evaporates very quickly and its vapour is heavier than air, so it can spread along a bench and ignite at a flame or hot surface some distance away. Always turn off burners, use a fume cupboard and warm it only on a water bath.

How should an opened bottle of Dietary Ether be stored?
Keep opened Dietary Ether tightly capped in a cool, dark, well-ventilated flammables cabinet, write the opening date on the label and avoid storing it for long periods, because ethers can form explosive peroxides as they age. Follow the storage section of the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Dietary Ether?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, and for an ether it also depends on how long the bottle has been open. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted before ordering Dietary Ether.

Who supplies Dietary Ether?
Dietary Ether on this website is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources solvents and analytical reagents for education and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.

Sodium Ethanoate 200 g (Product Code: SCI-499/214) is an analytical reagent grade pack of sodium acetate, the sodium salt of ethanoic acid, used for supersaturation demonstrations and acetate-ion tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. The 200 g quantity comes with its MSDS and suits teachers assembling a crystallization kit for school classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Ethanoate Used For?

Sodium ethanoate makes one of the most striking crystallisation demonstrations in school chemistry. A hot, concentrated solution cooled undisturbed in a clean flask stays liquid well past its saturation point; dropping in a single seed crystal sets off rapid crystal growth that spreads through the flask and releases noticeable heat — the principle behind reusable hand warmers.

In qualitative analysis it supplies acetate ions for students to identify: neutral iron(III) chloride turns an acetate solution deep red, and warming a little of the salt with ethanol and a few drops of concentrated sulphuric acid gives the fruity smell of ethyl ethanoate. Both tests appear in most salt analysis schemes, so keep the pack tightly closed to protect it from moisture between practicals.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The number of 200 g packs required.
• Whether your supersaturation recipe assumes the anhydrous salt or the trihydrate, so we can confirm the form supplied.
• Any ferric chloride, ethanol or glassware needed for the acetate tests.
• Extra MSDS copies for each laboratory store that will hold the salt.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Sodium Ethanoate 200 g and the wider range of salts used in school and college practicals. For vendor registration and export paperwork, the supplying company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Importer-Exporter Code (DGFT) is AAECJ8618A.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Ethanoate 200 g used for?
Sodium Ethanoate 200 g is used for supersaturation and crystallisation demonstrations, for acetate-ion tests in salt analysis, and for preparing acetate buffers with ethanoic acid. The analytical reagent grade pack is sized for a school or college chemistry store.

How does the supersaturated sodium ethanoate demonstration work?
A hot concentrated solution of Sodium Ethanoate is cooled slowly without disturbance, so it holds more dissolved salt than it normally could at that temperature. Adding one seed crystal triggers rapid crystallisation through the whole flask, and the mixture warms noticeably as the crystals form.

Is Sodium Ethanoate the same as sodium acetate?
Yes. Sodium Ethanoate is the systematic name for sodium acetate, the sodium salt of ethanoic (acetic) acid. This listing, SCI-499/214, supplies it as a 200 g analytical reagent grade pack with MSDS, and the hydrate form should be confirmed when you order.

How should Sodium Ethanoate be stored?
Store Sodium Ethanoate in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry cabinet, because it can take up or lose water depending on its form and the room humidity. It is not among the more hazardous salts in a school store, but students should still wear goggles and follow the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Ethanoate 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so Sodium Ethanoate 200 g is not sold with a fixed shelf-life figure. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and reseal the pack promptly after use.

Can Sodium Ethanoate 200 g be supplied for export?
Yes, Sodium Ethanoate 200 g can be quoted for dealers and institutions outside India as well as within India. Share the number of packs, the destination country and any import documents your side requires, and we will prepare a quotation with the relevant export details.

Lead Ethanoate (Product Code: SCI-501/215) is an analytical reagent grade lead salt, also known as lead acetate, used to detect sulphide ions and hydrogen sulphide and to teach lead-ion reactions in college and senior school salt analysis. It is supplied as a 200 g pack with its MSDS for chemistry stores that keep a controlled stock of heavy-metal reagents. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Lead Ethanoate Used For?

Lead ethanoate is best known as the reagent for hydrogen sulphide: filter paper moistened with its solution turns black when the gas is present, because dark lead sulphide forms on the paper. The same reaction lets biology and biochemistry students show sulphur in proteins — boiling an egg-white sample with sodium hydroxide and then adding lead ethanoate gives a black or brown precipitate.

In inorganic practicals it provides lead ions for precipitation tests, such as the yellow lead chromate formed with potassium chromate and the white lead chloride formed with chloride ions. Lead compounds are toxic, accumulate in the body and can harm the unborn child, so weigh the salt with gloves using a dust-free technique, never eat or drink in the lab, and collect all residues as heavy-metal waste. Keep it locked away as one of the controlled lab consumables in your store.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, operating as ScienceLab, supplies Lead Ethanoate for salt-analysis and protein-test practicals, together with the filter paper, gas-generating reagents and protective gloves those experiments need. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana, and serves colleges, schools, research laboratories and distributors across India and international markets. Company information is available on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

• Potassium Chromate — forms yellow lead chromate in the lead-ion test.
• Lead Nitrate — a second soluble lead salt for comparison reactions.
• Lead Acetate — the same salt listed under its common name; compare pack details.

More reagents are grouped in our Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Lead Ethanoate used to test for?
Lead Ethanoate is used to test for hydrogen sulphide and sulphide ions, which turn its solution or impregnated paper black by forming lead sulphide. It also reveals sulphur in proteins and supplies lead ions for chromate and chloride precipitation tests in salt analysis.

Is Lead Ethanoate the same as lead acetate?
Yes, Lead Ethanoate is the systematic name for lead acetate, historically called sugar of lead. This listing (SCI-501/215) supplies it as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade with MSDS, and the hydrate form can be confirmed on request.

How do I make lead acetate paper from Lead Ethanoate?
Dissolve a small amount of Lead Ethanoate in distilled water, dip strips of filter paper into the solution and use them while moist, or dry them and moisten before use. Hold a strip at the mouth of the test tube; blackening indicates hydrogen sulphide.

What safety precautions apply to Lead Ethanoate?
Lead Ethanoate is toxic if swallowed or inhaled, accumulates in the body and may damage fertility or the unborn child. Handle it with gloves and goggles, avoid dust, wash hands after use, keep it locked away and dispose of residues as heavy-metal waste following the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Lead Ethanoate?
