1-Octanol is the standard organic phase for measuring partition coefficients. A solute such as a dye, a drug or iodine is shaken with octanol and water in a separating funnel, the layers are allowed to settle, and the concentration in each layer is compared. The resulting octanol-water ratio, usually quoted as log P, is widely used in pharmacy and biology to predict how readily a substance crosses cell membranes.
In organic chemistry teaching, octanol sits at the long-chain end of the alcohol homologous series: comparing it with ethanol shows how solubility in water falls and boiling point rises as the carbon chain grows. The liquid is only slightly soluble in water, is combustible and irritates the eyes, so keep it away from flames, wear goggles and store the bottle tightly closed.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies Oktanol-1 in 100 ml analytical reagent packs to pharmacy colleges, university chemistry departments, research laboratories and dealers. The MSDS accompanies every pack, and the company can quote it together with separating funnels and other alcohols for partition or homologous series practicals.

Oktanol-1 is the catalogue name for 1-octanol (octan-1-ol), a straight-chain primary alcohol with eight carbon atoms. This listing is an analytical reagent grade liquid in a 100 ml pack supplied with an MSDS, used in partition coefficient and alcohol property experiments.
What is Oktanol-1 used for in pharmacy and biology labs?
Oktanol-1 is used as the organic layer in octanol-water partition experiments, which estimate how fat-soluble a drug, dye or other compound is. The resulting partition coefficient helps students understand absorption and membrane permeability in pharmacology and biology.
Does Oktanol-1 mix with water?
Oktanol-1 is only slightly soluble in water and, being less dense, forms a separate upper layer. This two-layer behaviour is exactly what makes Oktanol-1 useful for partition experiments carried out in a separating funnel.
What safety precautions apply to Oktanol-1?
Oktanol-1 is a combustible liquid that irritates the eyes and is harmful to aquatic life. Use it away from open flames, wear safety goggles and gloves, do not pour it down the drain and follow the MSDS supplied with the 100 ml pack.

Aluminium oxide is the textbook example of an amphoteric oxide. Warmed with dilute hydrochloric acid it gradually forms aluminium chloride, and with hot concentrated sodium hydroxide it forms a soluble aluminate, showing that one oxide can react both as a base and as an acid. Strongly heated alumina reacts only slowly, so allow time and use gentle warming.
In a standard school chemistry lab preparation of ethene, ethanol soaked into mineral wool at the bottom of a boiling tube is vaporised over strongly heated aluminium oxide, which removes water from it; the ethene is collected over water and tested with bromine water. Always lift the delivery tube out of the water before you stop heating, to prevent suck-back. Alumina dust irritates the eyes and lungs, so avoid breathing it in.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, supplies Aluminum Oxide in 200 g analytical reagent packs with the MSDS to schools, colleges, polytechnics and resellers. Alumina for specialised applications, such as column chromatography, is sold in dedicated grades, so describe your application when you enquire. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile.

For other oxides and apparatus, visit the Laboratory Equipment category.
What is Aluminum Oxide used for in school and college labs?
Aluminum Oxide is used to show amphoteric behaviour, reacting with both acids and hot concentrated alkalis, and as the heated catalyst for dehydrating ethanol to ethene. This listing is analytical reagent grade in a 200 g pack supplied with an MSDS.
Why is Aluminum Oxide called amphoteric?
Aluminum Oxide is called amphoteric because it reacts with acids such as hydrochloric acid to form aluminium salts and with strong alkalis such as sodium hydroxide to form aluminates. It therefore behaves as both a basic and an acidic oxide.
How does Aluminum Oxide help make ethene?
Aluminum Oxide acts as a dehydrating catalyst: when ethanol vapour passes over the strongly heated oxide, water is removed from each molecule and ethene gas forms. The gas is collected over water and tested for a carbon-carbon double bond with bromine water.
Can this Aluminum Oxide be used for column chromatography?
Chromatography normally uses alumina of a specific activity and particle size, and this listing does not state those details. Describe your method through the contact page before ordering so we can tell you whether this Aluminum Oxide suits it.
How should Aluminum Oxide be stored?
Keep Aluminum Oxide in a closed container in a dry place, because absorbed moisture can affect how it behaves as a catalyst. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Aluminum Oxide SCI-663/290?

As a typical basic oxide, copper(II) oxide dissolves when warmed with dilute hydrochloric acid, and the black solid gives way to a green-blue solution of copper(II) chloride. Students use this reaction to show that a metal oxide neutralises an acid to form a salt and water, and to contrast it with the behaviour of acidic oxides. The black layer that forms when a strip of copper is heated in a Bunsen flame is the same oxide, which links the reagent to lessons on oxidation.
In rate-of-reaction work, a little copper(II) oxide added to hydrogen peroxide speeds up the release of oxygen. Running the same test with manganese dioxide lets students rank catalysts, and filtering, drying and reweighing the oxide afterwards shows that a catalyst is not used up. Wear goggles, avoid raising dust, and collect copper residues for proper disposal instead of washing them down the sink.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, sources this 200 g pack of Copper Oxide (II) for schools, colleges and testing laboratories and dispatches it with its MSDS.

Shaking a few granules with water and adding universal indicator turns the mixture deep blue-violet, a vivid way to show that metal oxides form alkaline solutions. Warming the granules with dilute hydrochloric acid neutralises the acid and gives calcium chloride solution; a drop of that solution on a flame-test wire produces the brick-red flame used to identify calcium. Together these tests let students place calcium oxide firmly among the basic oxides.
Calcium oxide is also a component of soda lime, the mixture with sodium hydroxide that is heated with sodium ethanoate to prepare methane in organic chemistry practicals. In agriculture and environmental science lessons, quicklime shows how liming raises the pH of acidic soil. The oxide reacts with moisture and releases heat, so dispense it with a dry spatula, wear goggles and gloves, and reseal the pack immediately.

In organic chemistry, chromium(VI) oxide in aqueous sulfuric acid forms the Jones reagent, which oxidises primary alcohols towards carboxylic acids and secondary alcohols to ketones. As it reacts, the orange-red chromium(VI) is reduced to green chromium(III), so the colour change also serves as a test that separates primary and secondary alcohols from tertiary ones, which do not react under these conditions.
In inorganic lessons it illustrates the highest oxidation state of chromium and the colour change between the +6 and +3 states. It is a powerful oxidiser that can ignite paper, alcohols or solvents on contact, and chromium(VI) compounds are classed as carcinogens. Use it only under trained supervision in a fume cupboard, with goggles and chemical-resistant gloves, and collect chromium waste separately for disposal as the MSDS directs.
Chromium Oxide (VI) is sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, for college, university and testing laboratories. Each pack is sent with its MSDS, and the same enquiry can cover fume cupboards, gloves and goggles. Learn about the company on our profile page.

Phosphorus pentoxide absorbs water more strongly than most common drying agents, so a dish of it in a vacuum desiccator keeps samples and weighing bottles very dry, and organic chemists use it to remove water from compounds, for example when converting amides to nitriles. It reacts with the water it takes up to form phosphoric acid, so its drying power is gradually used up as a sticky acid layer forms on the surface.
In teacher demonstrations, a very small amount added carefully to water gives a strongly acidic solution that turns universal indicator red, making it the standard example of a non-metal forming an acidic oxide. The reaction with water is violent and releases heat, and the powder causes severe burns, so weigh it quickly in a dry area, wear goggles and gloves, and never add water to the solid.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, sources Phosphorus Oxide (V) for chemistry departments and testing laboratories and ships each pack with its MSDS. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). See the company profile for more background.

Its most familiar job is as the catalyst in the laboratory preparation of oxygen. A spatula-tip of the dark powder added to hydrogen peroxide releases a steady stream of oxygen that can be collected over water with a simple gas collection apparatus, and the oxide can be filtered off afterwards, showing that a catalyst is not used up. It also speeds up the thermal decomposition of potassium chlorate in the older oxygen preparation.
As an oxidising agent, manganese dioxide warmed with concentrated hydrochloric acid liberates chlorine, so that preparation belongs in a fume cupboard. Teachers also use it to explain the dry cell, where it surrounds the carbon rod and acts as the depolariser. Weigh it with a clean spatula, avoid raising dust, and close the container straight after use.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and sources Manganese Oxide (IV) (Manganese) for teaching and testing laboratories rather than producing it. Each supply is packed with its MSDS and can be combined with glassware, stands and other chemicals so that a school or college receives a complete practical set on one order.
Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can read more about the company on the ScienceLab profile page.
