Copper - Powder
Copper - Powder (Product Code: SCI-465/197) is an analytical reagent grade copper metal powder used for oxidation, mass-change and displacement experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. Its fine form reacts far more quickly than lump copper, which suits quantitative practicals that must finish within one lesson; the listing is a 100 g pack with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India.

What Is Copper Powder Used For?
In a classic quantitative practical, students heat a weighed portion of copper powder in an open crucible until it has turned completely black, let it cool and weigh it again. The gain in mass is the oxygen that combined with the metal, which shows that metals get heavier when they are oxidised. Heated with sulfur in a test tube, the powder glows and forms black copper sulfide, a clear demonstration of an element becoming a compound.
The large surface area also makes displacement from silver nitrate solution quick enough to watch in class. Weigh samples on a digital weighing balance for reliable mass changes, handle the powder with a clean, dry spatula, and keep the lid closed, as the surface slowly darkens in moist air.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, sources Copper - Powder and supplies it to schools, colleges and institutions in India and international markets, with an MSDS in every consignment. Teachers planning a mass-change practical can list the powder together with crucibles, tripods and burners on one enquiry.

Frequently Asked Questions
What grade and pack size is Copper - Powder SCI-465/197?
Copper - Powder SCI-465/197 is listed as analytical reagent grade copper powder in a 100 g pack and is supplied with an MSDS. Particle size and assay are not stated in the listing, so ask us for batch details if your method depends on them.
Why is Copper - Powder used for mass-change experiments?
Copper - Powder has a large surface area, so it oxidises fully and evenly when heated in an open crucible. That lets students measure a clear, repeatable mass gain within one lesson, which is harder to achieve with copper pieces or turnings.
How should Copper - Powder be stored?
Keep Copper - Powder in its tightly closed container in a cool, dry place, away from acids, oxidising agents and moisture, which slowly darken the surface. Use a clean, dry spatula and avoid creating dust when weighing.
What is the shelf life of Copper - Powder?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period applies to Copper - Powder. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted before ordering, and keep the container sealed between uses.
Who supplies Copper - Powder SCI-465/197?
Copper - Powder SCI-465/197 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, which sources chemicals, glassware and apparatus for teaching and research laboratories in India and international markets.
What does a Copper - Powder quotation need?
To quote Copper - Powder, we need the product code SCI-465/197, the number of 100 g packs, any particle-size or purity requirement and the delivery location. Send these through the contact page; export and multi-school orders are welcome.
