Zinc Acetate
Zinc Acetate (Product Code: SCL460/0142) is the zinc salt of acetic acid, a water-soluble reagent used to prepare zinc-ion solutions and to practise qualitative salt analysis in school and college laboratories. Chemistry and biology teachers buy it as 500 gm of analytical reagent grade salt, supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions sourcing from a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Zinc Acetate Used For?
In senior-secondary chemistry practicals, zinc acetate is a useful unknown salt because it contains one cation and one anion that students learn to identify. The acetate ion gives a vinegar-like smell when the salt is warmed with dilute sulphuric acid, and the zinc ion is confirmed through its white precipitate in group analysis. Teachers also dissolve it to prepare stock solutions of zinc ions for demonstrations of precipitation and displacement reactions, which makes it a regular item in a salt analysis kit for school labs.
Weigh out only what the practical needs on a balance, dissolve it in distilled water in a clean beaker, and label the solution with its contents and date. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard, avoid breathing dust when transferring the solid, and refer to the supplied MSDS for first-aid and disposal guidance. Labs usually order it with other chemistry consumables so that the salt-analysis cupboard is stocked in a single purchase.

Related Biology Lab Products
Weighing and dissolving zinc acetate for a practical usually calls for:
- Digital Analytical Balance — for weighing the salt accurately before making solutions.
- Spoon Spatula — for transferring the solid from the container without contamination.
- Distilled Water — for dissolving the salt without introducing other ions.
- Beaker — for dissolving and mixing the solution.
- Measuring Cylinder — for measuring the volume of water needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
What quantity of Zinc Acetate is supplied?
Zinc Acetate is supplied as 500 gm of analytical reagent grade salt in one container, together with an MSDS. Weigh out only what each practical needs, so the rest of the stock stays dry and uncontaminated in its closed container.
Is Zinc Acetate soluble in water?
Yes, Zinc Acetate dissolves readily in water, which makes it a convenient source of zinc ions for stock solutions. Use distilled water rather than tap water so that dissolved ions from the supply do not interfere with precipitation tests.
Does the listing specify the hydrate form or assay value?
No. The listing for Zinc Acetate gives only the quantity, analytical reagent grade and MSDS. If your method depends on the exact hydrate form or purity figure, please contact us to confirm it before ordering rather than assuming a value.
What is the shelf life of Zinc Acetate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so we do not quote a blanket period for Zinc Acetate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard.
Who supplies Zinc Acetate?
Zinc Acetate is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes this salt with balances, spatulas and glassware, so a school can restock its salt-analysis cupboard in a single purchase for India or international delivery.
Can you supply multiple units for several labs or for export?
Yes. Zinc Acetate can be quoted in several 500 gm units for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Tell us the number of units and the delivery locations through the contact page, and we will prepare a quotation.
