Sodium Bromide
Sodium Bromide (Product Code: SCL-955/220) is a soluble bromide salt used as a source of bromide ions for anion analysis and halogen displacement experiments in school and college chemistry laboratories. Senior secondary and college students test it with silver nitrate and chlorine water, and the 500 gm pack is analytical reagent grade with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools stocking the reagents of a salt analysis kit for school practicals.

What Is Sodium Bromide Used For?
In anion analysis, a solution of sodium bromide acidified with dilute nitric acid gives a pale cream precipitate with silver nitrate, which students compare with the white chloride and yellow iodide precipitates and test for solubility in ammonia. For the layer test, chlorine water is added to the bromide solution with a little carbon tetrachloride or carbon disulphide and shaken; the organic layer turns orange-brown as bromine is set free. This one tube shows that chlorine is more reactive than bromine, and repeating it with an iodide completes the displacement series for the halogens.
The salt itself is easy to handle, but the tests produce bromine and use chlorinated solvents, so perform them in small quantities in a fume cupboard or well-ventilated room, and collect the organic layers for proper disposal. Keep the container tightly closed, as the crystals slowly draw in moisture. Sodium bromide is a sensible addition to any halide set where students must identify ions in unknown mixtures.
Supplier
Sodium Bromide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its trading name ScienceLab and located in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources inorganic reagents such as this so that schools and colleges can order the halide salts, test reagents and apparatus for anion analysis from a single source, in India and international markets. More on the company is on the company profile page.
Related Chemistry Lab Products
Reagents and apparatus needed for bromide tests and halogen displacement:
- Silver Nitrate — gives the characteristic cream silver bromide precipitate.
- Chlorine Water — displaces bromine from the bromide in the layer test.
- Carbon Tetrachloride — the organic layer that shows the orange-brown bromine colour.
- Strontium Bromide — another bromide salt, useful for comparing cations with a common anion.
- Test Tube Holder — for safely shaking and warming the test tubes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who supplies Sodium Bromide SCL-955/220?
Sodium Bromide (SCL-955/220) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent grade salt in 500 gm packs, sends it with an MSDS and supplies schools and colleges in India and international markets.
How is Sodium Bromide distinguished from chloride with silver nitrate?
Sodium Bromide gives a pale cream silver bromide precipitate with acidified silver nitrate, while chloride gives white silver chloride. Silver chloride dissolves readily in dilute ammonia, whereas silver bromide is only partly soluble and needs concentrated ammonia to dissolve.
What is the pack size of Sodium Bromide?
Sodium Bromide is supplied in a 500 gm pack of analytical reagent grade crystals. Anion tests use only small portions of a dilute solution, so one pack supports many practical batches; order extra packs if several laboratories share the stock.
Is Sodium Bromide hazardous?
Sodium Bromide itself is of low hazard with normal care, but the displacement tests it is used in release bromine and involve chlorinated solvents. Read the MSDS supplied with the pack, work in small quantities and use a fume cupboard or good ventilation.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Bromide?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep Sodium Bromide tightly closed and dry, because the crystals slowly draw in moisture and can cake.
Can you supply other halide salts with Sodium Bromide?
Yes, other halide salts and test reagents can be quoted together with Sodium Bromide. Send your full list through the contact page and we will confirm availability and include everything, such as silver nitrate and chlorine water, in one quotation.
