Ferrous Sulphide sticks Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Ferrous Sulphide sticks (Product Code: SCL-851/169) are sticks of iron(II) sulphide used with dilute acid to generate hydrogen sulphide gas for qualitative inorganic analysis in school and college chemistry laboratories. The stick form suits the middle bulb of a Kipp-type generator, and each container holds 500 gm of analytical reagent sent with its MSDS. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India for practical rooms.

What Are Ferrous Sulphide Sticks Used For?

In the salt analysis practical of senior secondary and college courses, hydrogen sulphide is the group reagent that precipitates Group II cations as sulphides from acidified solution and Group IV cations from ammoniacal solution. Staff charge a Kipp generator with the sticks and fill the reservoir with dilute hydrochloric or dilute sulphuric acid. Opening the tap sends a steady stream of gas through the test solution; closing it pushes the acid away from the sticks and stops the reaction without dismantling anything. For occasional use, a Woulf bottle or a boiling tube fitted with a thistle funnel and delivery tube does the same job on a smaller scale.

Hydrogen sulphide is toxic, and its rotten-egg smell fades quickly because the nose tires of it, so the generator should run only inside a fume cupboard and be drained of acid at the end of the session. Keep the sticks in a closed container in a dry place, well away from acids: moist air slowly weathers the surface, and any contact with acid releases gas at once.

Supplier

Ferrous Sulphide sticks are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana. The company sources practical reagents alongside the laboratory apparatus it offers, so schools and colleges can order glassware and chemicals from one source. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). Read more on our company profile.

Related Chemistry Lab Products

Generating hydrogen sulphide needs an acid, a vessel to react it in, a way to confirm the gas and somewhere safe to work. These items complete the set-up:

• Hydrochloric Acid Dilute — the acid most often charged into the generator to react with the sticks.
• Sulphuric Acid Dilute — an alternative acid for producing the gas.
• Woulf Bottle — a multi-neck bottle that can serve as a small generator or as a wash bottle for the gas.
• Lead Acetate — for lead acetate paper, which turns black in hydrogen sulphide and confirms the gas is flowing.
• Polypropylene Ducted Fume Cupboard — extracts the toxic gas while the generator is running.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are Ferrous Sulphide sticks sold as sticks rather than powder?
Ferrous Sulphide sticks load cleanly into a Kipp-type generator and rest on the constriction instead of falling into the acid below, so the gas flow stays controllable. A fine powder would react too fast and could block the apparatus.

Which acid should be used with Ferrous Sulphide sticks?
Dilute hydrochloric acid is the usual choice with Ferrous Sulphide sticks, and dilute sulphuric acid also works. Concentrated acids are avoided because they contaminate the hydrogen sulphide with acid fumes or oxidise it before it reaches the test solution.

What is included in a pack of Ferrous Sulphide sticks?
A pack of Ferrous Sulphide sticks (SCL-851/169) contains 500 gm of analytical reagent grade sticks together with the MSDS. The gas generator, acid and connecting tubing are separate items, which can be added to the same enquiry.

What is the shelf life of Ferrous Sulphide sticks?
The shelf life of Ferrous Sulphide sticks depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is stated. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the lid tight, because weathered sticks give a weaker gas stream.

Can a certificate of analysis be provided for Ferrous Sulphide sticks?
Ferrous Sulphide sticks are supplied with an MSDS. If your purchase procedure needs batch analysis documents, mention it through our contact page before ordering and we will tell you what can be provided for the batch being quoted.

Who supplies Ferrous Sulphide sticks (SCL-851/169)?
Ferrous Sulphide sticks (SCL-851/169) are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company provides salt analysis reagents and gas-generation glassware to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.

Can I order Ferrous Sulphide sticks together with other salt analysis chemicals?
Yes. Most schools and colleges send one list covering Ferrous Sulphide sticks, acids, indicators and glassware. The shipping method depends on the chemicals in the order, so share the complete list and delivery location when you enquire.
