Calcium Ethanoate (Product Code: SCI-503/216) is an analytical reagent grade calcium salt of ethanoic acid, also called calcium acetate, used for flame tests, solid-fuel gel demonstrations and organic chemistry teaching in school and college laboratories. It comes as a 200 g pack with its MSDS and makes a useful addition to any flame test kit for school classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Calcium Ethanoate Used For?

A favourite demonstration mixes a saturated calcium ethanoate solution with ethanol: the liquids set almost instantly into a firm white gel that burns with a steady flame when lit, much like the solid fuel sold for camping stoves. The same salt gives the brick-red flame of calcium on a clean wire loop, letting students link a metal ion to its flame colour.

In organic chemistry, heating dry calcium ethanoate was the historical route to propanone (acetone), and teachers still use it to explain how ketones were first prepared, which makes it a handy reagent for a chemistry teaching kit. The salt is also unusual in being less soluble in hot water than in cold, a good talking point in solubility lessons. Keep the pack sealed and dry, and carry out the gel demonstration on a heat-proof mat well away from other flammable liquids.

The Laboratory Equipment category lists further salts, burners and glassware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Calcium Ethanoate gel made?
Pour a saturated Calcium Ethanoate solution into a larger volume of ethanol and stir, and the mixture sets into a white gel within seconds. A small piece placed in a heat-proof dish burns with a clean flame, showing how solid alcohol fuels work; keep all other flammables away.

What flame colour does Calcium Ethanoate give?
Calcium Ethanoate gives the brick-red (orange-red) flame typical of calcium ions. Dip a clean wire loop into the salt or its solution and hold it in the hot, non-luminous part of a Bunsen flame; comparing it with sodium and potassium salts builds flame-test skills.

Is Calcium Ethanoate the same as calcium acetate?
Yes. Calcium Ethanoate is the systematic name for calcium acetate, the calcium salt of ethanoic (acetic) acid. This listing, SCI-503/216, is a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade supplied with its MSDS.

How should Calcium Ethanoate be stored?
Store Calcium Ethanoate in its tightly closed container in a cool, dry cabinet, since it can absorb moisture from humid air and form lumps. Keep it separate from strong acids and follow the handling guidance in the MSDS supplied with each pack.

What is the shelf life of Calcium Ethanoate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period for Calcium Ethanoate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and reseal the pack after each use.

Calcium Phosphate (Product Code: SCI-505/217) is an analytical reagent grade calcium salt used to study the mineral of bones and teeth, phosphate testing and the behaviour of sparingly soluble salts in school, college and nutrition-science laboratories. It is supplied as a 200 g pack with its MSDS for teachers preparing a solubility experiment kit or combined biology and chemistry demonstrations. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Calcium Phosphate Used For?

Calcium phosphate is the main mineral in bone and tooth enamel, so biology and home-science classes use it to show why diets need calcium and phosphorus. Stirred into water it barely dissolves, yet it dissolves readily in dilute hydrochloric or nitric acid — a simple school chemistry lab model of how acids attack enamel and cause tooth decay.

Chemistry students can go further: after dissolving a sample in dilute nitric acid, warming with ammonium molybdate gives a yellow precipitate that confirms phosphate. Agriculture and environmental courses use it to explain rock phosphate and how insoluble phosphate is turned into soluble superphosphate fertiliser with acid. Several compounds share the name, so confirm whether you need the tri-, di- or monocalcium salt before ordering.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies Calcium Phosphate among the calcium and phosphate salts used in biology, chemistry and agriculture teaching. The Ambala, Haryana company deals with schools, colleges, agricultural institutes and distributors throughout India and international markets. Further information is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Solubility and phosphate-test lessons with Calcium Phosphate often use these reagents:

• Hydrochloric Acid Dilute — dissolves the salt in the enamel-and-acid demonstration.
• Nitric Acid 500 ml — acidifies the sample before the molybdate test.
• Ammonium Molybdate — forms the canary-yellow precipitate that confirms phosphate.
• Calcium Carbonate (Powder) 200 g — a calcium salt that fizzes in acid, for contrast.
• Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate — a water-soluble phosphate to compare with the calcium salt.

Find more salts and acids in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which form of Calcium Phosphate is supplied?
The listing for Calcium Phosphate (SCI-505/217) states analytical reagent grade and a 200 g pack with MSDS, but not whether it is tricalcium, dicalcium or monocalcium phosphate. Tell us the form your syllabus or method specifies and we will confirm it before quoting.

Why does Calcium Phosphate dissolve in acid but not in water?
Calcium Phosphate is only sparingly soluble in water, but acids convert its phosphate ions into more soluble hydrogen phosphates, so the solid dissolves. This is the same chemistry by which acids from food and bacteria slowly dissolve tooth enamel.

How do students test Calcium Phosphate for phosphate ions?
Dissolve a little Calcium Phosphate in dilute nitric acid, add ammonium molybdate solution and warm gently; a canary-yellow precipitate confirms phosphate ions. Students should wear goggles and gloves, since both the nitric acid and the molybdate reagent need careful handling.

How should Calcium Phosphate be stored?
Keep Calcium Phosphate in a tightly closed container in a dry cabinet away from acids, and label any portions transferred for class use. Refer to the MSDS supplied with the 200 g pack for handling, spill and first-aid information.

What is the shelf life of Calcium Phosphate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so a single figure is not given for Calcium Phosphate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the pack sealed when it is not in use.

Who supplies the Calcium Phosphate on this page?
The Calcium Phosphate on this page is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources laboratory reagents for education, research and agriculture laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets.

Calcium Fluoride (Product Code: SCI-507/218) is an analytical reagent grade ionic compound, the chemical that forms the mineral fluorite, used to teach crystal structure, low-solubility salts and fluoride chemistry in college and senior school laboratories. It is supplied as a 100 g pack with its MSDS for institutions stocking educational laboratory equipment in India. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Calcium Fluoride Used For?

Calcium fluoride gives its name to the fluorite structure, in which each calcium ion sits among eight fluoride ions and each fluoride among four calcium ions. Showing students a real sample next to a lattice model helps them connect formulas, ion ratios and coordination numbers in ionic bonding lessons. Its very low solubility in water also makes it a clear example when teaching solubility products.

Beyond the classroom, fluorspar is used as a flux in metal smelting and as a raw material for fluorine compounds, useful context alongside other lab equipment for college chemistry and metallurgy courses. Never heat calcium fluoride with concentrated sulphuric acid in a teaching lab, because that reaction releases hydrogen fluoride, an extremely dangerous gas that etches glass. Handle the powder with gloves and goggles, avoid breathing dust and follow the MSDS.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Calcium Fluoride under its ScienceLab trading name, together with the molecular models and glassware used in structure and solubility lessons. Buyers completing vendor forms can quote the supplying company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier, LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. The company is based in Ambala, Haryana; see the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Structure and solubility lessons built around Calcium Fluoride often include these items:

• Molecular Model, Pre-assembled, Calcium Fluoride — shows the fluorite lattice the salt is named for.
• Calcium Chloride 200g — a very soluble calcium salt to contrast with the fluoride.
• Porcelain Mortar with Crusher — grinds samples finely before solubility comparisons.
• Chemical Balance — weighs equal masses of salts for side-by-side solubility tests.
• Safety Goggles — protects the eyes from fine powder during grinding.

See the Laboratory Equipment category for more reagents and teaching apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Calcium Fluoride used for in teaching laboratories?
Calcium Fluoride is used to teach the fluorite crystal structure, ionic bonding ratios and the behaviour of salts with very low solubility. College courses also use it as context for fluorspar's role as a metallurgical flux and as a raw material for fluorine chemistry.

Is Calcium Fluoride the same as fluorite?
Calcium Fluoride is the chemical compound that makes up the natural mineral fluorite, also called fluorspar. This listing (SCI-507/218) is a 100 g analytical reagent grade laboratory chemical with MSDS rather than a mineral specimen; ask us if you need natural crystals instead.

Why is Calcium Fluoride almost insoluble in water?
Calcium Fluoride has a very strong lattice between small, highly charged calcium ions and fluoride ions, and hydration does not release enough energy to break it apart. Only a tiny amount therefore dissolves, which makes it a good solubility-product example.

Is it safe to react Calcium Fluoride with acids?
No. Heating Calcium Fluoride with concentrated sulphuric acid releases hydrogen fluoride, an extremely toxic and corrosive gas that also etches glass. This reaction should not be carried out in school or college teaching labs; use the salt for structure, solubility and observation work as the MSDS advises.

What is the shelf life of Calcium Fluoride?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed figure is quoted for Calcium Fluoride. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep it sealed in a dry cabinet away from acids.

How can institutions order Calcium Fluoride in bulk?
Institutions and dealers can order Calcium Fluoride in multiples of the 100 g pack for delivery in India and international markets. Send the number of packs, the destination and any vendor-registration forms, and Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, will reply with a quotation.

Phenol (Product Code: SCI-509/219) is an analytical reagent grade aromatic compound, also called carbolic acid, used for functional-group tests, organic preparations and studies of weak acidity in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. It is supplied as a 100 g pack with its MSDS, and because it is corrosive and absorbed through the skin, stores keep it under controlled access. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a source of chemistry lab equipment in India.

Specifications

What Is Phenol Used For?

Phenol is the reference compound for the classic tests on a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring. A drop of neutral iron(III) chloride turns its solution violet, and bromine water is decolourised at once with a white precipitate of tribromophenol, showing how strongly the ring is activated. Students also see that phenol dissolves in sodium hydroxide but does not fizz with sodium carbonate, which separates it from carboxylic acids.

College courses use it to prepare phenolphthalein and azo dyes and to study electrophilic substitution, so it is a standard item when a department orders from its lab chemicals supplier. Phenol is toxic and corrosive, passes quickly through skin and can cause severe burns that may not hurt at first, so handle it only with chemical-resistant gloves, goggles and a lab coat, with plenty of water close by. Store it tightly closed and away from light, since the crystals gradually turn pink as they oxidise.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Phenol to college and school laboratories along with the protective equipment and test reagents used with it. The company operates from Ambala, Haryana, and handles enquiries from institutions, research groups and dealers in India and international markets. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Identification tests and safe handling of Phenol call for these reagents and protective items:

• Ferric Chloride Anhydrous — gives the violet colour that identifies phenols.
• Bromine (Water Bromine) — produces the white tribromophenol precipitate.
• Sodium Hydroxide — dissolves phenol to demonstrate its weak acidity.
• Sodium Carbonate — shows that phenol, unlike carboxylic acids, releases no carbon dioxide.
• Gloves, Chemical Resistant — essential skin protection whenever phenol is handled.

Explore the Laboratory Equipment category for more reagents and glassware.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Phenol identified in the laboratory?
Phenol is identified by two quick tests: neutral iron(III) chloride gives a violet colour, and bromine water is decolourised with a white precipitate of tribromophenol. Together with its solubility in sodium hydroxide but not sodium carbonate, these tests distinguish phenol from alcohols and carboxylic acids.

Why is Phenol called carbolic acid?
Phenol was first obtained from coal tar and named carbolic acid because it behaves as a weak acid, losing a hydrogen ion from its hydroxyl group more easily than alcohols do. It is still too weak to react with carbonates, which makes a useful classroom comparison.

What pack size is Phenol supplied in?
Phenol (SCI-509/219) is supplied as a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade together with its MSDS. Colleges running organic practicals for several student groups can request multiple packs in one quotation.

What should I do if Phenol touches the skin?
If Phenol contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash the area at once with plenty of water, then seek medical attention, because phenol is absorbed quickly and can cause serious burns and poisoning. Follow the first-aid section of the MSDS and keep it posted wherever phenol is used.

How should Phenol be stored?
Store Phenol in its tightly closed container in a cool, dark, locked chemical cabinet away from oxidising agents, because it absorbs moisture and turns pink as it slowly oxidises in air and light. Keep it out of students' reach when it is not in use.

What is the shelf life of Phenol?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period for Phenol. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and check that the crystals are not strongly discoloured before use.

Who supplies the Phenol listed here?
The Phenol listed here is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources reagents for college, school and research laboratories and for dealers in India and international markets, and prepares quotations on request.

Phenolphthalein 250 ml (Product Code: SCI-511/220) is an analytical reagent grade acid-base indicator used to mark the end point of titrations and to detect alkalis in school, college and university chemistry laboratories. The 250 ml capacity suits departments that run volumetric analysis practicals every week, and each pack is supplied with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Phenolphthalein Used For?

In an acid-base titration, a few drops of phenolphthalein are added to the acid in a conical flask. The mixture stays colourless while acid remains and turns a faint, lasting pink as soon as the alkali from the burette is in slight excess. That sharp colourless-to-pink change makes it the usual indicator when sodium hydroxide is titrated against hydrochloric, sulphuric, oxalic or acetic acid, which is why it appears on almost every chemistry lab equipment list in India for volumetric work.

Outside titration, phenolphthalein lets students see that limewater, ammonia solution and soap solution are alkaline, and it is one half of the ferroxyl indicator used in rusting experiments. Swirl the flask constantly near the end point and add alkali drop by drop so the first permanent pink is not overshot. Indicator solutions are often made up in alcohol, so keep the bottle closed and away from flames, wear goggles, and follow the MSDS.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies Phenolphthalein 250 ml from Ambala, Haryana, alongside the burettes, conical flasks and alkalis used in the same titration. Laboratories can place indicator, glassware and reagents in one enquiry instead of dealing with several vendors. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

A titration bench that uses Phenolphthalein 250 ml usually also needs:

• Burette, Class-B, with PTFE Key Stopcock — delivers the alkali drop by drop up to the pink end point.
• Conical Flask — holds the acid and indicator and is easy to swirl during titration.
• Sodium Hydroxide 500 g — the alkali most often titrated with this indicator.
• Oxalic Acid — a primary standard for standardising the alkali before unknowns are titrated.
• Phenolphthalein Solution — a separately listed indicator solution to compare before ordering.

More reagents and glassware are listed in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What colour change does Phenolphthalein 250 ml show?
Phenolphthalein 250 ml stays colourless in acidic and neutral solutions and turns pink to magenta in alkaline solutions. In a titration, the first faint pink that persists after swirling marks the end point, the moment the added alkali is in slight excess over the acid.

Is phenolphthalein suitable for every titration?
No. Phenolphthalein suits titrations in which the alkali is strong, such as sodium hydroxide against hydrochloric, sulphuric, oxalic or acetic acid. When a weak base such as ammonia solution is titrated with a strong acid, methyl orange or methyl red gives a clearer end point.

What exactly is supplied under this listing?
Phenolphthalein 250 ml (SCI-511/220) is listed as an analytical reagent with a 250 ml capacity and an MSDS. The concentration and solvent are not stated, so ask us to confirm them with your quotation if your practical manual specifies a particular indicator strength.

What is the shelf life of Phenolphthalein 250 ml?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Phenolphthalein 250 ml. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly closed, away from heat and direct sunlight.

Who supplies Phenolphthalein 250 ml?

Ferricianur Potassium (Product Code: SCI-513/221) is potassium ferricyanide, an analytical reagent grade iron-cyanide complex salt used to detect iron(II) ions and to reveal where iron rusts in school and college chemistry laboratories. It comes as a 100 g pack with its MSDS; the catalogue name is a non-English spelling of potassium ferricyanide. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Ferricyanide Used For?

In qualitative inorganic analysis, a few drops of potassium ferricyanide solution added to a solution containing iron(II) ions give an intense dark blue precipitate (Turnbull’s blue), while iron(III) ions give only a brown colour. This lets students tell ferrous from ferric salts in seconds, a standard confirmatory step in the salt analysis practicals that school and college syllabuses include.

In corrosion lessons, the reagent is mixed with phenolphthalein in salt water or agar gel to make ferroxyl indicator: blue patches appear where iron dissolves and pink patches where hydroxide ions form, mapping the anodic and cathodic areas on a nail. Its light-sensitive iron chemistry is also the basis of cyanotype (blueprint) images in art-and-science projects. Never heat it strongly or mix it with concentrated acids, which can release hydrogen cyanide; wear gloves and goggles and follow the MSDS.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies Ferricianur Potassium from Ambala, Haryana, as part of its range of reagents for inorganic analysis. Iron salts, test-tube racks and dropping bottles for the same practical can be added to one quotation. Read more about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Iron-ion tests and rusting experiments with Ferricianur Potassium often call for:

• Ferrous Sulfate (II) 100 g — an iron(II) salt that gives the dark blue precipitate with this reagent.
• Ferrocianur Potassium — the companion reagent that detects iron(III) instead of iron(II).
• Phenolphthalein 250 ml — combined with it to make ferroxyl indicator for rusting studies.

• Test Tube Racks — hold tubes for side-by-side ferrous and ferric tests.

Browse the Laboratory Equipment category for other analytical reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ferricianur Potassium?
Ferricianur Potassium is this catalogue’s spelling of potassium ferricyanide, K3[Fe(CN)6], also called potassium hexacyanoferrate(III). It is a red crystalline complex salt; listing SCI-513/221 is analytical reagent grade and is supplied in a 100 g pack with its MSDS.

How does potassium ferricyanide tell iron(II) from iron(III)?
Ferricianur Potassium gives a deep blue precipitate with iron(II) ions but only a brown colour with iron(III) ions. Iron(III) is confirmed instead with potassium ferrocyanide, which gives Prussian blue, so the two reagents together identify both oxidation states of iron.

Is Ferricianur Potassium dangerous because it contains cyanide?
The cyanide groups in Ferricianur Potassium are held tightly around the iron atom, so it is far less hazardous than simple cyanide salts in normal use. Strong heating or contact with concentrated acids can still release toxic hydrogen cyanide gas, so avoid those conditions and follow the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Ferricianur Potassium?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Ferricianur Potassium. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container closed, dry and out of direct light, because its solutions slowly decompose in light.

Can Ferricianur Potassium be used to study rusting?
Yes. Ferricianur Potassium mixed with phenolphthalein in salt water or agar forms ferroxyl indicator, which turns blue where iron is oxidised and pink where hydroxide forms. Students use it to see the anodic and cathodic regions on nails, bent wires and coupled metals.

Can institutions order Ferricianur Potassium in bulk?
Ferricianur Potassium can be supplied in multiples of the 100 g pack to schools, colleges, dealers and laboratories in India and international markets. Send the quantity, destination and any vendor paperwork through the contact page, and Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) will reply with a quotation.

Ferrocianur Potassium (Product Code: SCI-515/222) is potassium ferrocyanide, an analytical reagent grade complex salt used to identify iron(III), copper(II) and zinc ions by coloured precipitates during qualitative analysis in school and college laboratories. This 100 g pack comes with an MSDS, and the catalogue name is a non-English spelling of potassium ferrocyanide. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Ferrocyanide Used For?

Potassium ferrocyanide is best known for the Prussian blue test: added to a solution of an iron(III) salt such as ferric chloride, it forms a dark blue precipitate at once. Students use it for confirmatory tests in inorganic salt analysis, and a school chemistry lab equipment list in India normally pairs it with potassium ferricyanide so both oxidation states of iron can be checked.

The same reagent gives a chocolate-brown precipitate with copper(II) ions and a white precipitate with zinc ions, so one bottle confirms several cations. The yellow crystals dissolve readily in water; make up small volumes of fresh solution for each practical and label the bottle clearly. As with other cyanide complexes, keep it away from hot concentrated acids, which can liberate hydrogen cyanide, and dispose of residues as the MSDS directs.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Ferrocianur Potassium under its ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, together with the iron and copper salts needed to demonstrate each test. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). Further details are on the ScienceLab profile page.
