Hydrochloric Acid Dilute Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Hydrochloric Acid Dilute (Product Code: SCL-864/175) is ready-diluted hydrochloric acid used for acid reactions and the preliminary tests of salt analysis in school and college chemistry labs. Because it arrives already diluted in a 500 ml analytical reagent bottle with an MSDS, staff avoid diluting concentrated acid before every practical. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a bench refill for the salt analysis kit a school keeps in its chemistry room.

Specifications

What Is Dilute Hydrochloric Acid Used For?

In class experiments, a few millilitres on granulated zinc gives hydrogen that pops with a lighted splint, and on calcium carbonate it gives carbon dioxide that turns lime water milky. Students also neutralise it with an alkali, see it turn blue litmus red and compare its reactions with other acids.

In salt analysis, a dilute acid is the first test for anions such as carbonate, sulphite and sulphide, which fizz or release a recognisable gas. Dilute hydrochloric acid is also the group reagent that precipitates Group I cations as chlorides, and with ferrous sulphide it generates hydrogen sulphide for Group II.

Even when dilute, the acid irritates skin and eyes and damages clothing, so students should wear goggles and work from droppers or small measuring cylinders rather than pouring from the bottle. If it is going into a volumetric analysis kit for titrations, standardise it first against sodium carbonate, because its exact strength is not given here.

• Granulated Zinc (granules) — reacts with the acid to give hydrogen for the pop test
• Calcium Carbonate — releases carbon dioxide when the acid is added
• Lime Water — turns milky and confirms the carbon dioxide produced
• Ferrous Sulphide sticks — treated with the acid to produce hydrogen sulphide for Group II analysis
• Test Tube Holder — grips tubes safely while acid reactions are warmed

Frequently Asked Questions

Who supplies Hydrochloric Acid Dilute SCL-864/175?
Hydrochloric Acid Dilute (SCL-864/175) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. Each 500 ml analytical reagent bottle is dispatched with an MSDS to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.

What is the strength of Hydrochloric Acid Dilute?
The exact strength of Hydrochloric Acid Dilute is not stated in this listing. If your syllabus specifies a normality, ask through our contact page before ordering, and standardise the acid against sodium carbonate before any quantitative titration.

Why buy dilute hydrochloric acid instead of diluting concentrated acid?
Buying Hydrochloric Acid Dilute saves staff from handling concentrated acid before every practical and reduces the risk of splashes and fumes. Laboratories that use very large volumes sometimes still prefer to dilute a concentrated grade themselves in a fume cupboard.

Is dilute hydrochloric acid suitable for younger students?
Yes. Hydrochloric Acid Dilute can be used by younger students in small test-tube quantities under supervision, with goggles on. Any spill should be diluted with plenty of water and wiped up at once, and the bottle kept capped between sessions.

What is the shelf life of Hydrochloric Acid Dilute?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the Hydrochloric Acid Dilute bottle tightly closed and away from metals and alkalis between practicals.

What should an institutional enquiry for Hydrochloric Acid Dilute include?
An enquiry for Hydrochloric Acid Dilute should give the number of 500 ml bottles, the delivery address, any other reagents to be quoted together, and the document list or tender format your institution requires.
