Sodium Carbonate 200 g (Product Code: SCI-558/242) is an analytical reagent grade sodium salt, commonly known as soda ash or washing soda, used to standardise acids in titrations and to demonstrate carbonate reactions in school and college chemistry labs. It suits volumetric analysis courses and comes as a 200 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools putting together a titration kit or a carbonate practical.

Weighed accurately and dissolved in distilled water, sodium carbonate gives a standard solution against which hydrochloric acid is titrated using methyl orange indicator. Once the acid concentration is known, students can move on to other acid–base titrations with confidence. For standardisation work, dry the solid first as your practical manual directs, since hydrated or damp material changes the mass taken.
Outside titration, sodium carbonate solution fizzes with acids to give carbon dioxide that turns limewater milky, precipitates insoluble carbonates from solutions of calcium and other metal ions, and shows how hard water can be softened. It is also used to make the sodium carbonate extract for anion tests in salt analysis. The solution is alkaline and irritating to the eyes, so goggles should be worn.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Sodium Carbonate 200 g under its ScienceLab trading name from Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers. We can quote the acid, indicator and titration glassware in the same enquiry. For company background, visit the ScienceLab profile page.

Why is Sodium Carbonate used to standardise hydrochloric acid?
Sodium Carbonate can be weighed accurately in dry form and reacts completely with hydrochloric acid, so a solution of known concentration serves as a primary standard. Titrating the acid against it with methyl orange gives the acid's exact concentration for later experiments.
Is Sodium Carbonate 200 g anhydrous or hydrated?
The listing for Sodium Carbonate 200 g states analytical reagent grade but does not specify the anhydrous or decahydrate form. If your practical needs a particular form, mention it in your enquiry and we will confirm which form the quoted batch is.
What else can Sodium Carbonate demonstrate?
Sodium Carbonate reacts with acids to release carbon dioxide, precipitates calcium and other metal ions as insoluble carbonates, and softens hard water. It is also used to prepare the sodium carbonate extract for anion testing in qualitative salt analysis.
Is Sodium Carbonate hazardous?
Sodium Carbonate is an irritant, especially to the eyes, and its solution is alkaline. Wear goggles, avoid raising dust, and follow the MSDS supplied with each 200 g pack for first aid, storage and disposal guidance.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Carbonate 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not state a fixed period for Sodium Carbonate 200 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted and keep the pack sealed and dry.
Can we order Sodium Carbonate for several laboratories?
Yes. Sodium Carbonate 200 g can be ordered in the number of packs your laboratories need, for delivery within India and to international markets. Send quantities and destinations through our contact page for a quotation.
