Zinc Sulfate
Zinc Sulfate (Product Code: SCI-411/173) is an analytical reagent grade zinc salt used as the electrolyte of the zinc half-cell in Daniell cell experiments and for reactivity and ion tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. It is packed as 200 g with its MSDS, ready to sit alongside an electrochemical cell kit for school practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Zinc Sulfate Used For?
In the Daniell cell, a zinc plate stands in zinc sulfate solution and a copper electrode in copper sulfate solution, with a salt bridge or porous pot joining the two. Zinc atoms give up electrons and pass into solution while copper deposits on the other electrode, and a voltmeter across the plates shows a chemical reaction producing electricity.
The salt also completes the reactivity-series activity: a copper strip left in zinc sulfate solution stays unchanged, whereas zinc placed in copper sulfate soon turns coppery. For the zinc-ion test, sodium hydroxide or ammonia solution gives a white precipitate that redissolves in excess, and biology classes can use it when studying zinc as a plant micronutrient. Wear goggles, as the salt irritates the eyes, and collect used solutions because zinc compounds harm aquatic life.
Supplier
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is a lab chemicals supplier in India that sources Zinc Sulfate and sends each 200 g pack with its MSDS. Chemistry and physics departments building electrochemistry practicals can request the salt together with zinc plates, copper electrodes and copper sulfate, and dealers and importers in international markets can do the same. The ScienceLab profile describes the company.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Zinc Sulfate used in a Daniell cell?
In a Daniell cell, Zinc Sulfate solution surrounds the zinc electrode while copper sulfate surrounds the copper electrode, and a salt bridge links them. Zinc dissolves as ions and copper deposits, producing a measurable voltage; Zinc Sulfate SCI-411/173 comes in a 200 g pack for this work.
Does copper react with Zinc Sulfate solution?
No. Copper placed in Zinc Sulfate solution shows no change, because copper is less reactive than zinc and cannot displace it. The contrast with zinc in copper sulfate, which becomes coated with copper, is a standard reactivity-series demonstration.
How do you test Zinc Sulfate for zinc ions?
Add sodium hydroxide solution drop by drop to a Zinc Sulfate solution: a white zinc hydroxide precipitate forms and then dissolves in excess. Ammonia solution behaves the same way, which helps distinguish zinc from aluminium, whose precipitate does not dissolve in excess ammonia.
How should Zinc Sulfate be stored?
Store Zinc Sulfate SCI-411/173 in its closed container in a cool, dry place, away from food and from drains. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Can Zinc Sulfate be quoted with electrochemistry apparatus?
Yes. Zinc Sulfate SCI-411/173 can be quoted together with a Daniell cell, zinc plates, copper electrodes and copper sulfate from ScienceLab, so a complete electrochemistry practical arrives on one order. List each item and the number of 200 g packs in your enquiry.
Who supplies Zinc Sulfate SCI-411/173?
Zinc Sulfate SCI-411/173 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources the reagent and provides it with its MSDS to schools, colleges, laboratories and dealers in India and international markets.
