Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Product Code: SCL358/079) is an analytical reagent grade salt, also called sodium bicarbonate or baking soda, used for carbon dioxide generation, neutralisation and thermal decomposition experiments in school and college laboratories. It comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS and makes a handy refill for a chemistry experiment kit in Indian schools. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate Used For?
Added to a dilute acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate fizzes as carbon dioxide is released, which students collect and bubble through limewater or use to show that the gas puts out a flame. Heated in a test tube, it decomposes to sodium carbonate, water and carbon dioxide, a classic practical on thermal decomposition and mass change. It is also used to neutralise small acid spills and in temperature-change practicals with citric acid.
It is a mild, low-hazard solid, but keep the pack dry and closed because it can cake after picking up moisture. Weigh portions with a dry spatula so the stock stays free-flowing, and label any solutions made from it with the date of preparation.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which supplies Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate from Ambala, Haryana. Schools and colleges can add it to an order for acids, limewater apparatus and heating equipment and receive one quotation for the whole practical. More detail is on the ScienceLab company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Carbon dioxide and decomposition practicals typically combine the salt with these items:
- Calcium Hydroxide — for making limewater to test the gas.
- Hydrochloric Acid — a dilute acid to release carbon dioxide.
- Sodium Carbonate — for comparing carbonates with hydrogen carbonates.
- Test Tube Holder — to hold tubes safely while heating the salt.
- Glass Spirit Lamp — a heat source for decomposition experiments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate the same as sodium bicarbonate?
Yes. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is the systematic name for sodium bicarbonate, or baking soda. This listing, SCL358/079, is analytical reagent grade in a 100 g pack, intended for laboratory use rather than food or medicinal use.
Does Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate come with an MSDS?
Yes. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is supplied with an MSDS covering handling, storage, first aid and disposal. Keep it with your chemical register so teachers can check it before practical sessions begin.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate?
The shelf life of Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate depends on grade and storage, mainly exposure to moisture and heat. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted and keep the container closed in a cool, dry place.
Which experiments use Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate?
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is used to generate carbon dioxide with acids, to demonstrate thermal decomposition on heating, to compare carbonates and hydrogen carbonates, and to neutralise small acid spills on the bench in school and college labs.
Who supplies Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate?
Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources analytical reagents for schools, colleges and dealers and can include them with apparatus on one quotation.
What does a quotation for Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate need?
A quotation for Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate needs the number of 100 g packs, the other reagents on your list, and your delivery location in India or abroad. Use our contact page or enquiry cart to send the details.
