Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) (Product Code: SCI-785/144) is an analytical reagent grade alkali-metal chloride salt, available as either sodium chloride (NaCl) or potassium chloride (KCl), used for ionic-compound, conductivity and flame-test experiments in school and college laboratories. The listing covers a 200 g pack with an MSDS, and the buyer states which of the two salts is required. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its lab chemicals for teaching.

Both salts are classic examples of ionic compounds: the dry crystals do not conduct electricity, but their solutions do, which students show with a simple conductivity circuit. Adding silver nitrate solution to either gives a white silver chloride precipitate, the standard test for chloride ions.
The two salts differ clearly in a flame test — sodium gives an intense yellow flame and potassium a lilac one — so many labs keep both for comparison. Sodium chloride solution is also used in osmosis practicals and in the electrolysis of brine, while potassium chloride is a common filling for salt bridges in electrochemical cell experiments.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies this salt listing to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets, and can pack either chloride to suit the syllabus. Enquiries are handled from Ambala, Haryana. Learn more on the ScienceLab profile.

Does this listing supply sodium chloride or potassium chloride?
The Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) listing SCI-785/144 can be supplied as either salt. State which one you need, or how many 200 g packs of each, when you request a quotation so the correct chemical is packed and labelled.
How can students tell sodium chloride from potassium chloride?
A flame test separates them quickly: the sodium chloride option of Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) SCI-785/144 gives a strong yellow flame, while potassium chloride gives a lilac flame, best seen through blue cobalt glass.
What grade is Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) SCI-785/144?
Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) SCI-785/144 is analytical reagent grade, supplied in a 200 g pack with an MSDS, and suits preparing standard salt solutions, chloride tests and conductivity experiments.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride)?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Sodium Chloride (or Potassium Chloride) closed and dry so the crystals do not cake.
