Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g (Product Code: SCI-709/313) is an analytical reagent grade copper(II) salt in its blue hydrated crystal form, used to teach water of crystallisation, displacement reactions and crystal growth in school and college chemistry laboratories. The 500 g pack suits departments that repeat these practicals across several class groups, and it comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

The classic practical is gently heating a few blue crystals in a dry china dish or test tube. The water of crystallisation is driven off and the solid turns white; adding a few drops of water turns it blue again and warms the container. Students see a reversible change and the chemical test for water in a single lesson.
A copper sulfate solution is also the usual starting point for displacement reactions, where zinc granules or an iron nail become coated with copper as the blue colour fades, and for electrolysis and copper-plating work with copper electrodes. Slow cooling of a warm saturated solution grows large blue crystals, the copper sulphate crystal activity many school science clubs enjoy. The salt is harmful if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life, so collect waste solutions instead of pouring them down the sink.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g from Ambala, Haryana, together with the glassware and electrodes used in copper-salt practicals. For import paperwork and vendor registration, the supplying company holds Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT.

What is Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g used for?
Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g is used in school and college chemistry labs to show water of crystallisation, a reversible colour change, displacement of copper by more reactive metals, electrolysis and crystal growing. The 500 g analytical reagent pack suits departments running these practicals across several classes.
Why do Hydrated Copper Sulfate crystals turn white when heated?
Hydrated Copper Sulfate turns white on heating because the water of crystallisation responsible for the blue colour is driven off, leaving anhydrous copper sulfate. Adding water restores the blue colour and releases heat, which is why the white powder serves as a simple test for water.
What grade and pack size is this Hydrated Copper Sulfate?
This listing (SCI-709/313) is Hydrated Copper Sulfate of analytical reagent grade in a 500 g pack, supplied with its MSDS. If you need a different quantity, ask us about the separate Hydrated Copper Sulfate listing before you order.
How long does Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g keep in storage?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the pack tightly closed in a cool, dry chemical cupboard.
Is Hydrated Copper Sulfate hazardous to handle?
Yes, Hydrated Copper Sulfate is harmful if swallowed, irritates the eyes and skin and is toxic to aquatic life. Students should wear goggles, avoid raising dust, wash hands after use and collect copper-containing waste for proper disposal, following the MSDS supplied with each pack.
Can schools order Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g in bulk or for export?
Yes. Schools, colleges and dealers can order Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g in multiple packs for delivery across India and international markets. Send the number of packs and the destination, and Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, will reply with a quotation.
To request a quotation for Hydrated Copper Sulfate 500 g, send the number of packs and your delivery location through our contact page, or add it to the enquiry cart together with the glassware for your practical. We will confirm pricing, batch expiry date and dispatch details.
