Calcium Hydroxide 200g (Product Code: SCI-417/131) is an analytical reagent grade white alkaline solid, also known as slaked lime, used to prepare limewater for the carbon dioxide test and to study neutralisation in school and college laboratories. As the name indicates, it is packed as 200 g with an MSDS, and because it dissolves only slightly, a small portion makes plenty of limewater. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

Shaking calcium hydroxide with distilled water and filtering off the excess gives limewater, the standard test for carbon dioxide: when the gas is bubbled through, the clear solution turns milky as insoluble calcium carbonate forms. Biology classes use the same limewater to compare inhaled and exhaled air, and chemistry students use it to identify the gas released when acids react with carbonates.
Calcium hydroxide also shows how slaked lime neutralises acidic soil and water, and it links calcium oxide, calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate in the limestone cycle. It is an alkali that irritates eyes and skin, so wear goggles when weighing it, and keep the container sealed because air slowly converts it to calcium carbonate.
Calcium Hydroxide 200g is sourced and supplied by ScienceLab, the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades in laboratory chemicals and apparatus. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can order it with carbonates, acids and filtration glassware for their limewater practicals.

What is Calcium Hydroxide 200g used for?
Calcium Hydroxide 200g (SCI-417/131) is used mainly to prepare limewater for the carbon dioxide test, and also for neutralisation and limestone-cycle experiments. Its analytical reagent grade gives a clear, reliable limewater for school and college practicals.
How do you make limewater from Calcium Hydroxide 200g?
To make limewater, shake a small spoonful of Calcium Hydroxide 200g with distilled water in a stoppered bottle, leave it to settle, then filter or decant the clear liquid. Keep the limewater stoppered, since carbon dioxide in the air slowly turns it cloudy.
What quantity is in each pack?
Each pack of Calcium Hydroxide 200g SCI-417/131 contains 200 g of analytical reagent grade calcium hydroxide with an MSDS. Because it dissolves only slightly, one pack prepares a large amount of limewater; tell us how many packs to include in your quotation.
Does Calcium Hydroxide 200g expire?
The shelf life of Calcium Hydroxide 200g depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the lid tight, as exposure to air gradually converts it to calcium carbonate.
Is Calcium Hydroxide hazardous to handle?
Calcium Hydroxide 200g is an alkali that can irritate the eyes, skin and airways, so wear goggles and avoid raising dust while weighing it. The MSDS supplied with SCI-417/131 gives first-aid and spill guidance for your chemical register.
Who supplies Calcium Hydroxide 200g SCI-417/131?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies Calcium Hydroxide 200g SCI-417/131 to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets, together with the glassware and reagents used in carbon dioxide practicals.
