Magnesium Oxide 200 g
Magnesium Oxide 200 g (Product Code: SCI-677/297) is an analytical reagent grade magnesium oxide (MgO) used for neutralisation, back-titration and basic-oxide experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. Pharmacy and chemistry students also meet it as a textbook example of an antacid base. The 200 g pack is supplied with an MSDS by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, one of the lab chemicals suppliers in India serving schools and colleges.

What Is Magnesium Oxide Used For?
Magnesium oxide barely dissolves in water yet reacts readily with dilute acids, which makes it ideal for showing how a base can neutralise an acid without being a soluble alkali. Adding a weighed portion to excess standard hydrochloric acid and then titrating the leftover acid is a well-known back-titration exercise in volumetric analysis courses. Shaking a little with water and testing with universal indicator or litmus shows its weakly alkaline suspension.
The oxide also links several topics. It is the white product formed when magnesium ribbon burns in air, so teachers compare the two in lessons on conservation of mass and empirical formulae, and its very high melting point, a result of strong ionic bonding, explains its use as a refractory lining material. Keep the pack sealed, because the powder slowly takes up moisture and carbon dioxide from air.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which sources Magnesium Oxide 200 g and supplies it to education and testing laboratories. Orders are packed with the MSDS, and the same quotation can cover indicators, burettes and the acids used in neutralisation practicals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Magnesium Oxide 200 g used for?
Magnesium Oxide 200 g (SCI-677/297) is used in teaching laboratories for neutralisation and back-titration practicals, for preparing magnesium salts with dilute acids, and as a reference sample when students study the white oxide formed by burning magnesium ribbon.
Does magnesium oxide dissolve in water?
Magnesium oxide is only very slightly soluble in water, so Magnesium Oxide 200 g forms a cloudy suspension that gives a weakly alkaline reading with indicator. It dissolves readily in dilute acids such as hydrochloric acid, forming a magnesium salt and water.
What grade and pack does this listing supply?
Magnesium Oxide 200 g, product code SCI-677/297, is analytical reagent grade and is supplied as a 200 g pack with an MSDS. If you need more material, state the number of packs in your enquiry and we will quote accordingly.
How should Magnesium Oxide 200 g be stored?
Keep Magnesium Oxide 200 g tightly closed in a dry cupboard, since the powder slowly absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from air. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Who supplies Magnesium Oxide 200 g?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, India supplies Magnesium Oxide 200 g (SCI-677/297) to schools, colleges, pharmacy institutes, dealers and importers, and can add related acids, indicators and glassware to the same order.
Can a certificate of analysis be provided?
Whether a batch certificate of analysis can accompany Magnesium Oxide 200 g depends on the lot supplied. Please raise it through the contact page when requesting a quotation, and we will confirm what documentation is available beyond the MSDS.
