Chlorine Water
Chlorine Water (Product Code: SCL-809/149) is an aqueous chlorine solution used as a ready-made oxidising reagent for halogen displacement and halide tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. Teachers and lab assistants order it in a 500 ml analytical reagent pack, supplied with an MSDS, for qualitative analysis and bleaching demonstrations. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India for teaching laboratories.

What Is Chlorine Water Used For?
The most common classroom experiment adds chlorine water to separate solutions of a bromide and an iodide. Chlorine, being the more reactive halogen, pushes out bromine and iodine, and when a non-polar solvent is shaken in, the lower layer turns orange-brown or violet. The same reaction forms the confirmatory layer test for these anions in qualitative analysis, so the reagent sits comfortably in any chemistry teaching kit built around halogens. Dipping moist blue litmus into it shows the solution first turning the indicator red and then bleaching it.
Chlorine escapes slowly from the solution, and the gas irritates the eyes and airways, so open the bottle only in a well-ventilated area or fume cupboard. Keep it tightly stoppered in a cool, dark place, because warmth and light make chlorine water lose strength; run a quick check with a known bromide before a class if the bottle has been open for a while.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pack size is Chlorine Water supplied in?
Chlorine Water (SCL-809/149) is supplied in a 500 ml pack of analytical reagent grade solution, together with an MSDS. Schools running halide tests for several sections usually order a few packs at once, because the solution works best while fresh after opening.
Why does chlorine water lose strength after opening?
Chlorine Water loses strength because dissolved chlorine gradually escapes from the solution and also reacts when exposed to light and warmth. Keeping the bottle tightly closed, cool and dark slows this down, and a quick test with a known bromide confirms the reagent still works.
What is the shelf life of Chlorine Water?
The shelf life of Chlorine Water depends on the chemical, its grade and how it is stored, so no fixed period is stated on this page. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted through the contact page.
Is an MSDS included with Chlorine Water?
Yes, Chlorine Water is supplied with an MSDS. The sheet explains the irritant nature of chlorine vapour, safe handling in a ventilated area or fume cupboard, and the first-aid steps that teachers and laboratory staff should know before the practical.
Can chlorine water replace bleaching powder in demonstrations?
Chlorine Water demonstrates the bleaching action of chlorine directly in solution, while bleaching powder is a solid source of chlorine used in other experiments. Many chemistry laboratories keep both, because each suits a different part of the practical syllabus.
Who supplies Chlorine Water (SCL-809/149)?
Chlorine Water (SCL-809/149) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies reagents and laboratory items to schools, colleges, dealers and institutions in India and international markets.
What should an institutional quotation for Chlorine Water include?
A quotation request for Chlorine Water should list the product code SCL-809/149, the number of 500 ml packs, the delivery address and billing details. Adding other halide-test reagents to the same enquiry lets us quote the complete requirement together.
