Copper Chloride (II) (100 g) (Product Code: SCI-574/249) is analytical reagent grade copper(II) chloride, or cupric chloride, used for electrolysis, flame-test and metal-displacement experiments in school and college chemistry labs. It is widely used to show copper deposition and chlorine release in a single electrolysis, and it comes as a 100 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which also lists electrolysis apparatus for schools in India.

Specifications

What Is Copper(II) Chloride Used For?

When a copper(II) chloride solution is electrolysed between graphite electrodes, a pink-brown layer of copper builds up on the cathode while bubbles of chlorine form at the anode, detected by its smell and by bleaching damp litmus paper. The blue-green colour of the solution fades as copper ions are removed, making the link between ions and products easy to see. Run the electrolysis briefly and in a ventilated room, because chlorine is toxic.

A little of the salt on a clean wire gives a bright blue-green flame, the standard flame test for copper. Adding zinc granules or iron powder to its solution displaces copper metal, and adding sodium hydroxide gives a pale blue precipitate of copper(II) hydroxide. The salt is harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life, so collect waste for proper disposal and keep the pack sealed, as it absorbs moisture.

Barium Chloride 200 g (Product Code: SCI-577/250) is an analytical reagent grade barium salt used to test for sulphate ions and to demonstrate precipitation reactions in school and college chemistry laboratories. It gives a dense white barium sulphate precipitate that stays undissolved in dilute acid, and it comes as a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier to schools, colleges and dealers.

Specifications

What Is Barium Chloride Used For?

To test a solution for sulphate, students acidify it with dilute hydrochloric acid and add a few drops of barium chloride solution; a white precipitate of barium sulphate confirms sulphate ions. The acid removes carbonate and sulphite, which would otherwise also give white precipitates, so the test becomes specific. College students take the same reaction further in gravimetric analysis, filtering, drying and weighing the precipitate to find sulphate content.

Barium chloride also gives an apple-green flame, useful when teaching flame tests for Group 2 metals. Soluble barium compounds are toxic if swallowed, so wear gloves, wash hands after use and keep the reagent locked away when it is not needed. Never pour barium waste down the drain; collect it for disposal as the MSDS directs.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies Barium Chloride 200 g from Ambala, Haryana, to institutions and laboratory dealers. Known sulphate samples, acid and disposable gloves can be quoted in the same enquiry. See the ScienceLab profile page to learn more about the company.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Sulphate tests and precipitation practicals with Barium Chloride 200 g generally need:

• Sodium Sulfate 100 g — a known sulphate for a positive control.
• Hydrochloric Acid 2000 ml — acidifies the sample before barium chloride is added.
• Test Tube with Rim — rimmed glass tubes for small-scale precipitation tests.
• Gloves - Protective disposable — chemical-resistant gloves for handling toxic barium salts.
• Barium Nitrate — an alternative barium reagent where chloride ions must be avoided.

The Laboratory Equipment category lists more reagents for ion testing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is Barium Chloride used to test for sulphate ions?
Acidify the sample with dilute hydrochloric acid, then add Barium Chloride solution. A white precipitate of barium sulphate that does not dissolve in the acid confirms sulphate ions; no precipitate means sulphate is absent from the sample.

Why is the sample acidified before adding barium chloride?
Carbonate and sulphite ions also form white precipitates with Barium Chloride, but those precipitates dissolve in dilute acid. Acidifying first removes them, so any white precipitate that remains can be attributed to sulphate.

Is Barium Chloride toxic?
Yes. Barium Chloride, like other soluble barium salts, is toxic if swallowed. Handle it with gloves and goggles, wash hands after use, store it securely, and collect waste for disposal as described in the MSDS supplied with the pack.

Which grade and pack size does this Barium Chloride listing cover?

Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) (Product Code: SCI-579/251) is an analytical reagent grade iron(III) chloride, commonly called ferric chloride, used to prepare iron(III) test solutions and colloidal sols in school and college chemistry laboratories. Chemistry teachers and lab assistants order it as a single 200 g pack that arrives with an MSDS for the store-room safety file. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier to institutions in India and international markets.

Specifications

What Is Iron Chloride (III) Used For?

In surface chemistry practicals, students add a dilute ferric chloride solution drop by drop to boiling distilled water to form a red-brown ferric hydroxide sol, then pass a beam of light through it to see the Tyndall effect. In salt analysis practicals, the same solution is used to show the confirmatory tests for iron(III): potassium ferrocyanide gives a deep Prussian blue, and a thiocyanate gives a blood-red colour.

The solution also turns blue litmus red because iron(III) ions hydrolyse in water, which makes it a clear classroom example of salt hydrolysis. The solid draws moisture from the air, so weigh it quickly and reclose the pack at once. Wear gloves and goggles, since the solution is corrosive and leaves brown stains on skin, clothing and bench tops.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Product code SCI-579/251 and the 200 g pack size.
• Number of packs needed per laboratory or per school.
• Companion reagents or storage bottles to be quoted together.
• Delivery location, within India or abroad.

Can Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) be used to make a ferric hydroxide sol?
Yes. Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) is the usual starting material for the ferric hydroxide sol practical: a dilute solution is added slowly to boiling distilled water until a clear red-brown colloid forms, which students then examine for light scattering.

Why is a ferric chloride solution acidic?
A solution made from Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) is acidic because iron(III) ions react with water and release hydrogen ions. That is why the solution turns blue litmus red and slowly corrodes metal tools left in contact with it.

How should Iron Chloride (III) (200 g) be stored?

Hydrated Calcium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-581/252) is an analytical reagent grade calcium chloride containing water of crystallisation, used as a source of calcium ions for precipitation, flame and water-hardness experiments in school and college laboratories. Lab technicians buy it in a 200 g pack that comes with an MSDS, which makes it convenient stock for a teaching lab. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of chemistry consumables.

Specifications

What Is Hydrated Calcium Chloride Used For?

A calcium chloride solution is a simple source of calcium ions. Adding sodium carbonate gives a white precipitate of calcium carbonate, and ammonium oxalate gives white calcium oxalate, so both reactions are used when teaching precipitation and when confirming calcium in salt analysis. A moistened sample on a clean wire loop turns a Bunsen flame brick-red.

Teachers also dissolve a little in distilled water to make artificially hard water for soap-lather comparisons: calcium chloride causes permanent hardness, which boiling does not remove but washing soda does. Because this grade already carries water, it is not the drying agent for desiccators or drying tubes; fused (anhydrous) calcium chloride is chosen for that job.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and supplies analytical reagents such as Hydrated Calcium Chloride to school chemistry departments, colleges and training institutes, and to dealers who stock science store rooms. Buyers can combine this salt with other calcium compounds and glassware in one quotation. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Items that pair with calcium chloride in precipitation, flame and drying-agent comparisons:

• Sodium Carbonate — precipitates white calcium carbonate and softens the prepared hard water.

Browse all reagents and apparatus in Laboratory Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Hydrated Calcium Chloride and fused calcium chloride?
Hydrated Calcium Chloride contains water of crystallisation, so it is used to make calcium ion solutions rather than to dry gases. Fused (anhydrous) calcium chloride has had that water removed and is the grade packed into drying tubes and desiccators.

Which hydrate is supplied as Hydrated Calcium Chloride SCI-581/252?
The Hydrated Calcium Chloride listing confirms analytical reagent grade, a 200 g pack and an MSDS, but it does not name the exact hydrate. If your method needs a specific hydrate, ask us through the contact page before ordering.

Can Hydrated Calcium Chloride be used to prepare hard water for experiments?
Yes. A small amount of Hydrated Calcium Chloride dissolved in distilled water gives permanently hard water for soap-lather tests, letting students compare the lather before and after treatment with washing soda.

What flame colour does Hydrated Calcium Chloride give?
Hydrated Calcium Chloride gives a brick-red flame when a moistened sample is held on a clean wire loop in a non-luminous Bunsen flame, which is one of the standard flame tests for calcium in salt analysis.

How long does Hydrated Calcium Chloride keep?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Store Hydrated Calcium Chloride in a closed container in a dry place, as it takes up moisture and can turn damp.

Is an MSDS included with Hydrated Calcium Chloride?
Yes. Each 200 g pack of Hydrated Calcium Chloride (SCI-581/252) is supplied with an MSDS, which gives handling, first-aid and storage guidance for the laboratory safety file.

Potassium Chloride 100 g (Product Code: SCI-583/253) is an analytical reagent grade potassium chloride (KCl) used to make salt bridges, conductivity solutions and solubility samples in school, college and university chemistry laboratories. Physical chemistry teachers choose the 100 g pack when only small volumes of solution are needed, and each pack comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is Potassium Chloride Used For?

In electrochemistry practicals, a saturated potassium chloride solution set in agar, or soaked into a strip of filter paper, forms the salt bridge that joins the two half-cells of a Daniell cell. Potassium and chloride ions move at similar speeds, which keeps unwanted junction effects small. Solutions of known strength are also used to check conductivity cells before students measure unknown electrolytes.

Students plotting a solubility curve dissolve weighed portions in water at different temperatures and note where crystals reappear on cooling. In flame tests, potassium gives a lilac flame that sodium's yellow easily masks, so it is viewed through blue cobalt glass. KCl is one of the milder salts in the store, but goggles and gloves are still the rule when weighing and dissolving it.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Pack size: this listing is the 100 g pack (SCI-583/253); larger packs are listed separately.
• Number of packs for the batches of students you teach.
• Any conductivity, flame-test or salt-bridge apparatus to be quoted with it.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, which supplies reagents such as Potassium Chloride 100 g to colleges, polytechnics and schools running physical chemistry practicals, and to laboratory dealers.

Magnesium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-585/254) is an analytical reagent grade magnesium chloride (MgCl₂) used to demonstrate magnesium ion reactions and permanent water hardness in school and college chemistry laboratories. It comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS, a practical quantity for class sets of test-tube reactions. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, which provides lab chemicals to institutions across India.

Specifications

What Is Magnesium Chloride Used For?

In salt analysis practicals, magnesium is identified in the last cation group: with ammonium chloride, ammonium hydroxide and disodium hydrogen phosphate it forms a white crystalline precipitate of magnesium ammonium phosphate. Sodium hydroxide gives white magnesium hydroxide which, unlike zinc or aluminium hydroxide, does not dissolve in excess alkali, a handy contrast when teaching amphoteric hydroxides.

Water-chemistry lessons use magnesium chloride to prepare permanently hard water for soap tests and hardness titrations. The salt is strongly deliquescent: it pulls moisture from the air and can turn into a wet paste if the lid is left loose, so weigh portions quickly, reseal the pack and store it in a dry cupboard.

Supplier

Laboratory dealers and school suppliers who restock chemistry store rooms can source Magnesium Chloride from ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala. The company supplies reagents in the pack sizes stated on each listing, and buyers can ask for them to be quoted together with glassware. Read the ScienceLab profile for company details.

Related Laboratory Equipment

• Sodium Carbonate — washing soda, which removes permanent hardness by precipitation.

Find further reagents in the Laboratory Equipment category.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which test confirms magnesium using Magnesium Chloride?
A solution of Magnesium Chloride treated with ammonium chloride, ammonium hydroxide and disodium hydrogen phosphate gives a white crystalline precipitate of magnesium ammonium phosphate, the usual confirmatory test for magnesium in school salt analysis.

Does Magnesium Chloride cause hard water?
Yes. Magnesium Chloride dissolved in water causes permanent hardness, which does not disappear on boiling. Teachers use it to prepare hard-water samples so students can compare soap lather before and after softening with washing soda.

What pack size is Magnesium Chloride SCI-585/254?
Magnesium Chloride SCI-585/254 is supplied as a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade salt, accompanied by an MSDS. For larger requirements, state the number of 100 g packs you need in your enquiry.

Sodium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-587/255) is an analytical reagent grade sodium chloride (NaCl) used to prepare standard chloride solutions, brine and electrolyte samples in school, college and university chemistry laboratories. Its 200 g pack, supplied with an MSDS, suits quantitative work where ordinary table salt is not pure enough. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for volumetric analysis and general teaching use.

Specifications

What Is Sodium Chloride Used For?

Because analytical reagent sodium chloride can be dried and weighed accurately, it is a common primary standard for standardising silver nitrate solution in Mohr's titration, with potassium chromate as the indicator and brick-red silver chromate marking the end point. The same solution is used in precipitation demonstrations, where a drop of silver nitrate gives white silver chloride that slowly darkens in light.

In electrochemistry, electrolysis of brine releases chlorine at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode, leaving sodium hydroxide in solution, while conductivity tests compare salt water with sugar solution to separate electrolytes from non-electrolytes. Biology classes use dilute salt solutions for osmosis in potato strips or onion peel. Sodium gives a strong, lasting yellow flame, so clean wire loops well before flame-testing other salts.

Supplier

Institutions and tender buyers that must register vendors can source Sodium Chloride from ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, India. For vendor forms, the supplying company's GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and its Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) is 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Further company information is on the ScienceLab profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 be used as a primary standard?
Yes. Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 is analytical reagent grade, and after drying it is widely used as a primary standard for standardising silver nitrate in Mohr's titration. If your method specifies a minimum assay, confirm the batch details with us first.

Why use Sodium Chloride instead of table salt in the lab?
Analytical reagent Sodium Chloride is used instead of table salt because household salt can contain iodine compounds, anti-caking agents and moisture that interfere with titrations, conductivity readings and precipitation tests.

What is included with Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255?
Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 comes as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade salt with an MSDS. Glassware, indicators and silver nitrate are separate catalogue items that can be added to the same enquiry.

What happens when Sodium Chloride solution is electrolysed?
When a Sodium Chloride solution, or brine, is electrolysed with inert electrodes, chlorine gas forms at the anode while hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide form at the cathode. The demonstration needs good ventilation because chlorine is toxic.

How should Sodium Chloride be stored, and what is its shelf life?
Keep Sodium Chloride in its closed container in a dry place so it stays free-flowing for accurate weighing. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.

Lead Chloride (Product Code: SCI-590/256) is an analytical reagent grade lead(II) chloride (PbCl₂) used to demonstrate the solubility behaviour and reactions of lead ions in college and senior school chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 100 g with an MSDS, and because lead compounds are toxic it should be handled by trained staff or under close supervision. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Lead Chloride Used For?

Lead chloride is the classic example of a salt whose solubility rises sharply with temperature: it dissolves only slightly in cold water but much more in boiling water, and on cooling it separates again as fine white needle-shaped crystals. This is the basis of the Group I step in salt analysis, where lead is precipitated as the chloride with dilute hydrochloric acid and then separated from silver chloride by extracting with hot water.

The hot extract is then tested with potassium chromate, which gives yellow lead chromate, and with potassium iodide, which gives bright yellow lead iodide. Lead compounds are toxic if swallowed or inhaled and harmful to the environment, so wear gloves and goggles, avoid raising dust, wash hands after use and collect residues for proper disposal rather than pouring them down the sink.

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, supplies Lead Chloride to colleges, schools and laboratory dealers that need a ready lead salt for qualitative analysis. Questions about packing or the safety sheet for this hazardous reagent can be raised before ordering and are answered directly by the supplier. See the ScienceLab company profile.

Related Laboratory Equipment

Reagents and protective items for lead ion tests with lead chloride:

• Potassium Chromate — gives the yellow lead chromate confirmatory precipitate.
• Potassium Iodide — forms bright yellow lead iodide.
• Lead Nitrate — a soluble lead salt for preparing lead ion solutions.
• Hydrochloric Acid — precipitates lead chloride in the Group I separation.
• Gloves, Chemical Resistant — hand protection when handling toxic lead salts.

Other reagents and apparatus are in Laboratory Equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Lead Chloride soluble in water?
Lead Chloride is only slightly soluble in cold water but dissolves far more in boiling water. This temperature-dependent solubility is why it is used to separate lead from silver in Group I salt analysis and to grow needle-like crystals on cooling.

Which tests confirm lead in a Lead Chloride solution?
A hot water extract of Lead Chloride gives a yellow precipitate of lead chromate with potassium chromate and a bright yellow precipitate of lead iodide with potassium iodide. Both are standard confirmatory tests for lead ions.

Is Lead Chloride safe for school students?
Lead Chloride is toxic and should be handled only by trained staff or under close supervision, with gloves, goggles and good hand hygiene. Read the MSDS supplied with the 100 g pack before use and dispose of residues as hazardous waste.

What does the Lead Chloride SCI-590/256 pack contain?
Lead Chloride SCI-590/256 is a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade lead(II) chloride supplied with an MSDS. Glassware and the test reagents used with it are ordered separately from the ScienceLab catalogue.

How long can Lead Chloride be stored?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Lead Chloride sealed, labelled as toxic and locked in the chemical store, away from food and drink.
