Red Phosphorus 50 g (Product Code: SCI-519/224) is an analytical reagent grade allotrope of phosphorus used to demonstrate allotropy and the combustion of a non-metal in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. The compact 50 g pack, supplied with an MSDS, suits demonstration work where only a spatula tip is burned at a time. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Red Phosphorus Used For?

Teachers use red phosphorus to show that one element can exist in forms with very different properties. Unlike white phosphorus, the red form is stable in air, does not glow in the dark and does not have to be kept under water, so it is the practical choice for school chemistry lab equipment in India. Heated on a deflagrating spoon and lowered into a gas jar of oxygen, a small portion burns with a bright flame and dense white smoke of phosphorus(V) oxide.

Shaking that smoke with a little water gives an acidic solution that turns blue litmus red, a neat demonstration that non-metal oxides are acidic. Red phosphorus is also the active part of the striking strip on safety-match boxes, a useful talking point in everyday-chemistry lessons. It is a flammable solid: keep it dry and away from flames, and never mix or grind it with oxidisers such as potassium chlorate, because such mixtures can explode on friction.

Supplier

Red Phosphorus 50 g is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and serves laboratories from Ambala, Haryana. Because it is a flammable solid, tell us the destination when you enquire so that shipping options can be confirmed with the quotation. Company information is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

The combustion demonstration with Red Phosphorus 50 g is usually set up with:

• Deflagrating Spoon — holds a small portion in the flame and inside the gas jar.
• Gas Jar, Glass — contains the oxygen in which the phosphorus burns.
• Gas Jar Cover — keeps the white oxide smoke inside the jar after burning.
• Phosphorus Oxide (V) — the combustion product, for studying its reaction with water directly.
• Blue Litmus Paper — shows that the solution formed from the oxide is acidic.

Visit the Laboratory Equipment category for other elements and reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between red and white phosphorus?
Red Phosphorus 50 g contains the red allotrope, which is stable in air, much less toxic and ignites only when heated. White phosphorus is waxy, glows in air, can catch fire on its own and must be stored under water, so the red form is the one used for classroom demonstrations.

Which experiments use Red Phosphorus 50 g?
Red Phosphorus 50 g is used to compare allotropes, to burn a non-metal in oxygen and form phosphorus(V) oxide, and to show that the oxide dissolves in water to give an acidic solution. Teachers also use it to explain how the striking surface of a safety-match box works.

How should Red Phosphorus 50 g be stored?
Store Red Phosphorus 50 g in its closed container in a cool, dry chemical cabinet away from flames, heat and oxidising agents such as chlorates and nitrates. Mixtures with strong oxidisers can ignite or explode on friction, so keep them on separate shelves and follow the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of Red Phosphorus 50 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Red Phosphorus 50 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the lid closed because the powder can slowly absorb moisture from air.

Can Red Phosphorus 50 g be shipped to other countries?
Red Phosphorus 50 g is quoted for customers in India and international markets, but as a flammable solid it has transport restrictions. Tell Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) the destination and quantity when you enquire, and the available shipping route will be confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Phosphate (Product Code: SCI-521/225) is an analytical reagent grade sodium salt of phosphoric acid used for phosphate ion tests, precipitation reactions and buffer work in school, college and biology laboratories. It comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS; because several sodium phosphates exist, confirm the exact salt and hydrate when you enquire. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Phosphate Used For?

In qualitative analysis, sodium phosphate supplies phosphate ions for classroom tests. Warmed with ammonium molybdate in nitric acid, its solution gives a canary-yellow precipitate, and added to calcium chloride solution it forms insoluble calcium phosphate, the mineral of bones and teeth. These reactions make it a handy reagent for lessons on precipitation, on the phosphate group and on the chemistry behind phosphate fertilisers.

Sodium phosphates are also combined in phosphate buffers for biology and biochemistry practicals, and the trisodium salt is a traditional cleaning and degreasing agent that shows how alkaline salts behave in water. Because the listing does not name the specific salt, check your practical manual first, since mono-, di- and trisodium phosphate behave differently, and tell us which one it calls for. Wear gloves and goggles, especially with the strongly alkaline trisodium salt.

Supplier

As a lab chemicals supplier in India, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana) provides Sodium Phosphate alongside the related phosphate salts listed below, so a department can compare and order them together. Visit the ScienceLab profile page to learn more about the company.

Find more salts in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which sodium phosphate is supplied under this listing?
The Sodium Phosphate listing (SCI-521/225) names the salt generally and does not state whether it is mono-, di- or trisodium phosphate or which hydrate. Tell us which form your practical requires and we will confirm what can be supplied in the 100 g analytical reagent pack.

How is Sodium Phosphate used to test for phosphate ions?
A solution of Sodium Phosphate warmed with ammonium molybdate and nitric acid gives a yellow precipitate of ammonium phosphomolybdate, confirming phosphate. Mixing it with calcium or barium chloride solutions also gives white phosphate precipitates, which are useful in precipitation lessons.

Can Sodium Phosphate be used to make a buffer?
Yes. Sodium phosphates are standard ingredients of phosphate buffers for biology and biochemistry practicals, usually by mixing the dihydrogen and hydrogen salts. The right proportions depend on the target pH, so follow your method and confirm which Sodium Phosphate form you are buying.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Phosphate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Sodium Phosphate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container tightly closed because hydrated phosphates can gain or lose water in air.

Who supplies Sodium Phosphate and to which markets?

Iron (Powder) (Product Code: SCI-523/226) is analytical reagent grade metallic iron in powder form, used to teach mixtures and compounds, metal displacement and magnetic separation in school and college science laboratories. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with its MSDS, and the fine powder reacts faster than iron filings because of its larger surface area. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Iron Powder Used For?

The classic iron and sulphur practical starts here. Students mix iron powder with sulphur powder, pull the iron back out with a magnet to show it is only a mixture, then heat a second portion so it glows and forms iron(II) sulphide, which the magnet no longer attracts. This one experiment explains the difference between a mixture and a compound better than any diagram, which is why it features in most school chemistry lab equipment lists in India.

Iron powder also displaces copper from copper sulphate solution, turning the blue solution pale green and coating the grains with red-brown copper, a clear introduction to the reactivity series. Sprinkled into a Bunsen flame it throws bright sparks, and with dilute hydrochloric acid it releases hydrogen. Keep the container closed and dry to limit rusting, avoid raising dust clouds near flames, and store it away from acids and oxidisers.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies Iron (Powder) from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. Buyers abroad can note the supplying company’s Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT for their vendor records. Find out more on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Practicals built around Iron (Powder) typically use these items as well:

• Sulfur (Powder) — mixed with the iron for the mixture-versus-compound experiment.
• Steel Horseshoe Magnet — separates iron from sulphur in the unheated mixture.
• Hydrated Copper Sulfate — for the displacement reaction that deposits copper on the iron.
• Iron Sulfide — the compound formed, for comparing its properties with the mixture.
• Powdered Iron (reduced) — a separately listed reduced iron powder to compare before ordering.

More metals and reagents are in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What experiments use Iron (Powder)?
Iron (Powder) is used for the iron and sulphur mixture-and-compound experiment, for displacing copper from copper sulphate solution, for producing hydrogen with dilute acids and for flame-spark demonstrations. Its fine particles react faster than iron filings in each of these school and college practicals.

Is Iron (Powder) attracted by a magnet?
Yes. Iron (Powder) is strongly attracted by a magnet, so it can be pulled out of a mixture with sulphur, sand or salt. After heating with sulphur, the iron(II) sulphide formed is no longer attracted, which shows students that a new substance has been made.

How should Iron (Powder) be stored?
Store Iron (Powder) in its tightly closed container in a dry place, because moisture slowly rusts the fine particles. Keep it away from acids, oxidisers and open flames, avoid creating dust clouds, and follow the handling advice in the MSDS supplied with each 200 g pack.

What is the shelf life of Iron (Powder)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Iron (Powder). Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted; a powder that has turned reddish-brown has started to rust and reacts less cleanly.

Can Iron (Powder) be exported?
Iron (Powder) is quoted for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. The supplying company, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A; send the destination and number of 200 g packs through the contact page for a quotation.

N - Hekzan (Product Code: SCI-524/227) is n-hexane, an analytical reagent grade non-polar organic solvent used for extraction, chromatography and solubility experiments in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. It is supplied in a 100 ml bottle with an MSDS; “Hekzan” is a transliterated spelling of hexane. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is n-Hexane Used For?

Because it mixes with oils and fats but not with water, n-hexane is used to extract oil from crushed seeds and to pull non-polar compounds out of aqueous mixtures in a separating funnel, where it forms the upper layer. In thin-layer and paper chromatography it serves as the non-polar part of the mobile phase, letting students see how solvent polarity changes how far pigments or dyes travel, a common step when a chromatography kit is used in school or college.

It is also the solvent of choice for showing that iodine dissolves in non-polar liquids with a violet colour while barely dissolving in water, and for halogen displacement tests in which the colour of the organic layer reveals the halogen present. n-Hexane is highly flammable and its vapour is heavier than air, so use it only in a fume cupboard with no flames or hot plates nearby. Prolonged breathing of hexane vapour can damage nerves; keep bottles capped and wear gloves and goggles.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, supplies N - Hekzan and other solvents for teaching laboratories. Separating funnels, chromatography plates and protective gloves for the same practicals can be quoted together. The ScienceLab profile page has more about the company.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Extraction and chromatography work with N - Hekzan commonly needs:

• Separating Funnel (Separator) 125ml — separates the hexane layer from water after extraction.
• Chromatography Plates, TLC — thin-layer plates developed with hexane-based solvent mixtures.
• Iodine (Crystals) — dissolves in hexane with a violet colour in solubility demonstrations.
• Fume Cupboard, Ductless — removes flammable vapour while the solvent is in use.
• Gloves, Chemical Resistant — protect hands during extractions and plate spotting.

Other solvents and reagents are listed in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is N - Hekzan?
N - Hekzan is the catalogue name for n-hexane, a straight-chain alkane with the formula C6H14 that is used as a non-polar laboratory solvent. Listing SCI-524/227 is analytical reagent grade and is supplied in a 100 ml bottle with its MSDS.

What is n-hexane used for in teaching laboratories?
N - Hekzan (n-hexane) is used to extract oils from seeds, to separate non-polar substances from water in a separating funnel, as part of chromatography mobile phases and to show that iodine dissolves in non-polar solvents with a violet colour.

Why does hexane form a layer on top of water?
n-Hexane is less dense than water and does not mix with it, so N - Hekzan forms a separate upper layer in a separating funnel. Non-polar substances such as iodine or plant oils move into this hexane layer, which can then be run off and collected separately.

Is N - Hekzan hazardous?
Yes. N - Hekzan is highly flammable, its vapour can travel to distant ignition sources, and long-term inhalation of hexane can harm the nervous system. Work in a fume cupboard, keep flames and hot surfaces away, wear gloves and goggles, and follow the MSDS.

What is the shelf life of N - Hekzan?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for N - Hekzan. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the bottle tightly capped in a cool, flame-proof solvent cabinet.

How can N - Hekzan be ordered for delivery?
Send the number of 100 ml bottles and the delivery destination to Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) through the contact page. N - Hekzan is a flammable liquid, so transport options for India and international markets are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate (Product Code: SCI-527/228) is disodium hydrogen phosphate, an analytical reagent grade salt used to prepare phosphate buffer solutions for biology, biochemistry and chemistry practicals in colleges and schools. It is supplied as a 100 g pack with an MSDS and pairs with sodium dihydrogen phosphate to hold a solution near neutral pH. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate Used For?

Mixing solutions of disodium hydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate in different ratios gives phosphate buffers across the near-neutral range in which many enzymes work. Students use these buffers to study how pH affects catalase or amylase activity and to keep cells and tissue samples in stable conditions during observation. Making pH buffer solution in the lab this way lets an Indian college prepare exactly the volume and pH each practical needs.

In chemistry lessons, its solution is mildly alkaline, which students can confirm with universal indicator paper or a pH meter, making it a neat example of salt hydrolysis. It also supplies hydrogen phosphate ions for precipitation and confirmatory tests. The salt is of low hazard but can irritate the eyes, so wear goggles, weigh it in a clean weighing boat and keep the container tightly closed, because some forms gain or lose water of crystallisation in air.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the company behind the ScienceLab name in Ambala, Haryana, supplies Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate to biology and chemistry departments that need buffer salts together with pH meters and volumetric glassware. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Preparing phosphate buffers from Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate is easier with:

• Sodium Dihydrogen Phosphate — the partner salt for making phosphate buffers.
• PH Meter 0-14 — checks the pH of each buffer as it is adjusted.
• Volumetric Flask — makes up buffer solutions to an exact final volume.
• Plastic Weighing Boats — for weighing the salt cleanly on the balance.
• Sodium Phosphate — a general sodium phosphate listing for phosphate ion tests.

Other buffer salts and reagents are in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate?
Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate is disodium hydrogen phosphate, Na2HPO4, a sodium salt of phosphoric acid. Listing SCI-527/228 is analytical reagent grade in a 100 g pack with MSDS; the hydrate form is not stated, so ask us to confirm it for your buffer recipe.

How is Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate used to make a phosphate buffer?
Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate is dissolved together with sodium dihydrogen phosphate in set proportions; more hydrogen phosphate gives a slightly higher pH and more dihydrogen phosphate a lower one. Check the finished buffer with a pH meter and adjust it before use.

Why does the hydrate form of Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate matter?
Hydrated forms of Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate contain water of crystallisation, so more grams are needed for a given concentration than with the anhydrous salt. Always use the molar mass printed on your container when calculating a buffer, and tell us which form your method specifies.

Is a Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate solution acidic or alkaline?
A solution of Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate is mildly alkaline, because the hydrogen phosphate ion accepts protons from water more readily than it donates them. Students can check this with universal indicator paper or a pH meter as an example of salt hydrolysis.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack sealed in a dry cabinet at room temperature.

Who supplies Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate?
Sodium Hydrogen Phosphate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, to colleges, schools, research laboratories and dealers in India and international markets. Send the number of 100 g packs and the hydrate form you need to receive a quotation.

It is supplied in a 500 ml bottle with an MSDS; the strength is not stated in the listing and is confirmed on enquiry. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Ammonium Hydroxide Used For?

In cation analysis, ammonium hydroxide precipitates metal hydroxides such as gelatinous white aluminium hydroxide and red-brown iron(III) hydroxide, while in excess it turns copper(II) solutions a deep blue as the copper-ammine complex forms. It also dissolves silver chloride, which separates it from silver bromide and iodide, and it is needed to prepare Tollens’ reagent. Few bottles on a salt analysis bench in a school or college are opened as often.

A favourite demonstration places cotton wool soaked in ammonia solution at one end of a long glass tube and cotton wool with concentrated hydrochloric acid at the other. A white ring of ammonium chloride forms nearer the acid end, showing that the lighter ammonia molecules diffuse faster. The liquid gives off pungent, irritating vapour, so open it in a fume cupboard, keep the cap tight and store it cool. Never mix it with bleach, which releases toxic chloramine gases.

Supplier

Ammonium Hydroxide (Ammonia) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, and provides the reagents used in inorganic salt analysis.

Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm (Product Code: SCI-531/230) is analytical reagent grade slaked lime used to prepare limewater for carbon dioxide tests and to demonstrate neutralisation in school and college laboratories. The 200 g pack is supplied with an MSDS, and because the solid is only sparingly soluble, a small amount makes a large volume of saturated limewater. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Calcium Hydroxide Used For?

The main classroom use is limewater. Shake a spoonful of calcium hydroxide with distilled water, let the excess settle and filter the clear saturated solution. Bubbling exhaled breath, or the gas from acid acting on marble chips, through it turns it milky as calcium carbonate forms, which is the standard test for carbon dioxide; prolonged bubbling clears it again as soluble calcium hydrogencarbonate forms.

Calcium hydroxide also shows how farmers neutralise acidic soil, how lime mortar hardens by absorbing carbon dioxide, and, when heated with ammonium chloride, how ammonia gas is prepared in the laboratory. Although only slightly soluble, it is a strong base that irritates skin and can seriously damage the eyes, so wear goggles, avoid raising dust and keep the container closed so the powder does not slowly turn to carbonate in air.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and, as a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, provides Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges and dealers. For procurement files, the supplying company’s GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier is LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Limewater and gas-preparation practicals with Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm usually need:

• Calcium Carbonate (Granules) 200 g — reacts with dilute acid to produce the carbon dioxide tested with limewater.
• Filter Paper 120 mm — filters the saturated solution to give clear limewater.
• Calcium Oxide (Granules) 200 g — quicklime, which forms calcium hydroxide when water is added.
• Ammonium Chloride 200 g — heated with calcium hydroxide to prepare ammonia gas.
• Lime Water — a separately listed product for labs that prefer limewater ready-made.

The Laboratory Equipment category lists more calcium compounds and reagents.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is limewater made from Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm?
Stir a spoonful of Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm into distilled water, stopper and shake the flask, then leave the undissolved solid to settle. Filter or decant the clear liquid into a stoppered bottle; this saturated solution is limewater, ready for carbon dioxide tests.

Why does limewater made from calcium hydroxide turn milky?
Carbon dioxide reacts with dissolved Calcium Hydroxide to form insoluble calcium carbonate, which appears as a white milkiness. With excess carbon dioxide the milkiness clears again because soluble calcium hydrogencarbonate forms, a useful extension question for students.

Is Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm the same as quicklime?
No. Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm is slaked lime, Ca(OH)2, formed when quicklime (calcium oxide) reacts with water. Quicklime reacts vigorously and becomes hot when wetted, whereas calcium hydroxide is the stable product used to make limewater.

What is the shelf life of Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the lid tight because the powder slowly absorbs carbon dioxide from air.

Which vendor details are available for Calcium Hydroxide 200 gm orders?

Potassium Hydroxide 200g (Product Code: SCI-533/231) is an analytical reagent grade strong alkali, also called caustic potash, used to absorb carbon dioxide in biology experiments, to make soft soap and to prepare alkaline solutions in college and school laboratories. It is supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS and is strongly hygroscopic, so it must be kept tightly sealed. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Hydroxide Used For?

In plant and seed respiration experiments, a small container of potassium hydroxide solution inside a sealed flask absorbs the carbon dioxide given off, so a coloured liquid index in the attached tube moves as oxygen is taken up. The same property lets teachers remove carbon dioxide from the air around a leaf to show that photosynthesis depends on it, which keeps caustic potash on most biology lab equipment lists in India as well as in chemistry stores.

In chemistry, potassium hydroxide saponifies oils to give soft, liquid potassium soap, acts as the electrolyte in alkaline cells and serves as a strong base in titrations and organic reactions. It is highly corrosive and dissolves with a strong release of heat, so add the solid slowly to cold water while stirring, wear goggles and gloves, and store its solutions in plastic or rubber-stoppered bottles, because strong alkali makes ground-glass stoppers stick.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, supplies Potassium Hydroxide 200g from its base in Ambala, Haryana, to biology and chemistry laboratories. Respiration apparatus, beakers and alkali-safe bottles can be quoted with it. Learn more on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Work with Potassium Hydroxide 200g is usually supported by:

• Respiration Apparatus — for the respiration studies described above.
• Chemical Beaker 500 ml — for dissolving the solid slowly in cold water.
• Bottle, Polyethylene, Widemouthed — stores alkaline solutions without stoppers seizing.
• Safety Goggles — eye protection while weighing and dissolving a corrosive alkali.
• Potassium Hydroxide — a separately listed potassium hydroxide entry to compare before ordering.

More alkalis and salts are available in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Potassium Hydroxide 200g used for?
Potassium Hydroxide 200g is used to absorb carbon dioxide in respiration and photosynthesis experiments, to make soft potassium soap from oils, as an alkaline electrolyte and as a strong base in titrations and organic chemistry. It is analytical reagent grade and comes with an MSDS.

How is potassium hydroxide different from sodium hydroxide?
Both are strong alkalis, but Potassium Hydroxide 200g produces soft, liquid soaps whereas sodium hydroxide produces hard bar soaps, and potassium hydroxide dissolves more readily in alcohol. Either can absorb carbon dioxide, and many biology practical manuals specify the potassium salt for this purpose.

Why must Potassium Hydroxide 200g be kept sealed?
Potassium Hydroxide 200g is strongly hygroscopic and also reacts with carbon dioxide in air, so an open container turns damp and gradually forms potassium carbonate. Close the lid immediately after weighing and store the pack in a dry chemical cabinet away from acids.

How should potassium hydroxide be dissolved safely?
Add Potassium Hydroxide 200g in small portions to cold water while stirring, never water onto the solid, because dissolving it releases a lot of heat. Wear goggles and gloves, and rinse any splash on skin or eyes with plenty of running water as the MSDS describes.

What is the shelf life of Potassium Hydroxide 200g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Potassium Hydroxide 200g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and remember that a pack left open absorbs water and loses strength.

Can schools and dealers order Potassium Hydroxide 200g in bulk?
Yes. Potassium Hydroxide 200g can be quoted in multiples of the 200 g pack for schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets. Share quantity and destination with Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) through the contact page to receive a quotation.
