Ammonium Acetate
Ammonium Acetate (Product Code: SCL-755/122) is an analytical reagent salt used to prepare buffer solutions and to dissolve lead sulphate during qualitative inorganic analysis in school, college and research laboratories. Formed from a weak acid and a weak base, it gives near-neutral solutions, which makes it a practical base for any pH buffer solution a lab in India prepares; it is packed 500 gm to a container with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Ammonium Acetate Used For?
To make a buffer, the salt is weighed, dissolved in distilled water and made up to the mark in a volumetric flask, then brought to the required pH with dilute acetic acid or ammonia while a pH meter is checked. Because it is a salt of a weak acid and a weak base, its solution is a useful classroom example when comparing the pH of different salt solutions. In instrumental work it is valued because it evaporates away completely, leaving no residue on the equipment.
In the lead group of cation analysis, white lead sulphate dissolves in ammonium acetate solution, and adding potassium chromate then gives yellow lead chromate, confirming lead. Barium sulphate does not dissolve in the same way, which helps separate the two. The salt is strongly deliquescent and soon turns sticky in humid air, so weigh it quickly, close the lid straight away and keep the container in a dry cupboard.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab, is an Ambala, Haryana company that supplies analytical reagents like this one to schools, colleges and research institutions in India and international markets. Departments can place one enquiry for the salt and the volumetric glassware used with it. The company profile gives more background.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Ammonium Acetate SCL-755/122?
Ammonium Acetate (SCL-755/122) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources the reagent for teaching and research laboratories and dispatches each pack with an MSDS to buyers in India and international markets.
What quantity and grade does a pack of Ammonium Acetate hold?
Each Ammonium Acetate container holds 500 gm of the salt, listed as analytical reagent grade, with an MSDS for safe handling. If your buffer method or tender asks for a different grade, mention it in your enquiry before ordering.
Why has the ammonium acetate turned damp or sticky?
Ammonium acetate absorbs moisture from the air very readily, so an open or loosely capped container soon turns damp and sticky. Damp salt weighs inaccurately for buffer work, so keep the lid tightly closed and store the pack in a dry place.
What pH does an ammonium acetate solution have?
An ammonium acetate solution is close to neutral because the salt comes from a weak acid and a weak base. The exact value depends on concentration and temperature, so measure it with a pH meter whenever the buffer pH matters for your experiment.
Can ammonium acetate be used in the confirmatory test for lead?
Yes. Ammonium acetate solution dissolves white lead sulphate, and adding potassium chromate to that solution then gives yellow lead chromate, which confirms lead. Barium sulphate stays undissolved, so the same step also helps separate lead from barium in group analysis.
What is the shelf life of Ammonium Acetate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Because Ammonium Acetate is deliquescent, dry storage with the lid firmly closed matters more than for most salts.
What information do you need for an ammonium acetate quotation?
For an Ammonium Acetate quotation, send the number of 500 gm packs, the delivery address and any documents your purchase department requires through our contact page. Orders from dealers in India and international markets are quoted in the same way.
