Strontium Chloride
Strontium Chloride (Product Code: SCI-601/261) is an analytical reagent grade strontium chloride (SrCl2) used for red flame-colour demonstrations and alkaline earth metal precipitation tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. It is the usual strontium sample in group-trend lessons comparing calcium, strontium and barium, and it comes in a 100 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Strontium Chloride Used For?
Strontium salts colour a flame deep red, the same effect that gives red colours to fireworks and signal flares, so strontium chloride is a staple of flame-test and emission-spectrum lessons. Because its red resembles lithium's crimson, students compare the two directly and learn to rely on careful observation or a spectroscope.
For group-trend work, strontium chloride solution gives a white precipitate of strontium sulfate with a soluble sulfate and white strontium carbonate with sodium carbonate. Comparing these results with calcium and barium salts shows how sulfate solubility falls down Group 2. The salt can seriously irritate the eyes, so goggles and gloves are essential when weighing it.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Product code SCI-601/261 and the number of 100 g packs.
- Other Group 2 chlorides needed for the comparison set, such as calcium and barium.
- Burners or flame-test apparatus to be included in the same quotation.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the name by which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, is known to the schools, colleges and laboratory dealers that buy Strontium Chloride and other analytical reagents from it. Teachers planning a periodic-trends practical can request the strontium salt together with the calcium and barium compounds and apparatus it needs. The company profile has further details.

Frequently Asked Questions
What colour flame does Strontium Chloride produce?
Strontium Chloride produces a deep red flame in a non-luminous Bunsen flame. This is the colour strontium compounds give to red fireworks and flares, which makes the salt popular for flame-test and emission-spectrum lessons.
How can Strontium Chloride be told apart from lithium chloride in a flame test?
Strontium Chloride and lithium chloride both give red flames, so they are hard to separate by eye. A hand spectroscope shows their different line spectra, and a sulfate test also helps, since strontium forms a white sulfate precipitate.
Which precipitation tests use Strontium Chloride?
Strontium Chloride solution gives white strontium sulfate with a soluble sulfate and white strontium carbonate with sodium carbonate. Comparing these with calcium and barium salts illustrates how sulfate solubility decreases down Group 2.
What does the Strontium Chloride SCI-601/261 pack include?
Strontium Chloride SCI-601/261 is a 100 g pack of analytical reagent grade salt with an MSDS. Burners and the other Group 2 salts are separate catalogue items that you can add to the same enquiry.
How should Strontium Chloride be stored?
Keep Strontium Chloride in a tightly closed container in a dry place, as it can take up moisture. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Where can Strontium Chloride be ordered from?
Strontium Chloride is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets, with enquiries handled through the contact page.
