Because analytical reagent sodium chloride can be dried and weighed accurately, it is a common primary standard for standardising silver nitrate solution in Mohr's titration, with potassium chromate as the indicator and brick-red silver chromate marking the end point. The same solution is used in precipitation demonstrations, where a drop of silver nitrate gives white silver chloride that slowly darkens in light.
In electrochemistry, electrolysis of brine releases chlorine at the anode and hydrogen at the cathode, leaving sodium hydroxide in solution, while conductivity tests compare salt water with sugar solution to separate electrolytes from non-electrolytes. Biology classes use dilute salt solutions for osmosis in potato strips or onion peel. Sodium gives a strong, lasting yellow flame, so clean wire loops well before flame-testing other salts.

Can Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 be used as a primary standard?
Yes. Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 is analytical reagent grade, and after drying it is widely used as a primary standard for standardising silver nitrate in Mohr's titration. If your method specifies a minimum assay, confirm the batch details with us first.
Why use Sodium Chloride instead of table salt in the lab?
Analytical reagent Sodium Chloride is used instead of table salt because household salt can contain iodine compounds, anti-caking agents and moisture that interfere with titrations, conductivity readings and precipitation tests.
What is included with Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255?
Sodium Chloride SCI-587/255 comes as a 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade salt with an MSDS. Glassware, indicators and silver nitrate are separate catalogue items that can be added to the same enquiry.
What happens when Sodium Chloride solution is electrolysed?
When a Sodium Chloride solution, or brine, is electrolysed with inert electrodes, chlorine gas forms at the anode while hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide form at the cathode. The demonstration needs good ventilation because chlorine is toxic.
How should Sodium Chloride be stored, and what is its shelf life?
Keep Sodium Chloride in its closed container in a dry place so it stays free-flowing for accurate weighing. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
What vendor details are available for Sodium Chloride purchases?
