Sodium Oxalate

Product Code : SCL-967/226

Sodium Oxalate (Product Code: SCL-967/226) is the white sodium salt of oxalic acid, used as a weighable reference standard for potassium permanganate titrations in college, university and school laboratories. Analysts value it because it is anhydrous and takes up little moisture, and each 500 gm pack is analytical reagent grade with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India for teaching and research laboratories.

What Is Sodium Oxalate Used For?

The classic application is the standardisation of potassium permanganate. A weighed, dried portion of sodium oxalate is dissolved in water in a conical flask, acidified with dilute sulphuric acid and warmed, then titrated with permanganate from a burette until a faint pink colour persists. Students notice that the first drops lose their colour slowly and later drops react almost at once, because the manganese(II) ions formed speed up the reaction, a useful live example of autocatalysis. This routine exercise makes the salt a sensible part of any titration kit for school and college laboratories in India.

In anion analysis, a neutral oxalate solution gives a white precipitate of calcium oxalate with calcium chloride that does not dissolve in acetic acid, and it decolourises warm acidified permanganate. Sodium oxalate is harmful if swallowed or absorbed through the skin, so weigh it with a spatula, wear gloves, keep it away from food areas and wash hands after use.

  • Sulphuric Acid Dilute — acidifies the oxalate solution before titration.
  • Burette — delivers the permanganate solution drop by drop near the end point.
  • Conical Flask — the titration vessel, easy to swirl and to warm.
  • Weight Box — weights for measuring the oxalate sample on a physical balance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who supplies Sodium Oxalate SCL-967/226?
Sodium Oxalate (SCL-967/226) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources this analytical reagent in 500 gm packs with an MSDS; its GSTIN and LEI for tender and vendor files appear in the Supplier section above.

Why was this product listed as Sodium Oxaolate?
The product was earlier listed as Sodium Oxaolate, a misspelling of Sodium Oxalate; the chemical and the product code SCL-967/226 are unchanged, and the page address still uses the old spelling. Quote the product code in your enquiry to avoid any confusion.

Why is Sodium Oxalate preferred for standardising permanganate?
Sodium Oxalate is preferred because permanganate solutions change strength on standing and must be checked against a stable reference. The salt is anhydrous and weighs accurately, so a dried portion titrated in warm acid solution gives a dependable reference titre.

Should Sodium Oxalate be dried before weighing?
For standard solutions, most laboratories dry Sodium Oxalate in an oven and cool it in a desiccator before weighing, which removes any surface moisture. For simple qualitative oxalate tests, the salt can be used straight from the pack.

What is the shelf life of Sodium Oxalate?
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 Sodium Oxalate lid tightly closed between uses so the salt stays dry for accurate weighing.

What safety information comes with Sodium Oxalate?
An MSDS is supplied with every pack of Sodium Oxalate. It covers the hazards of swallowing or skin contact, first aid, storage and disposal of oxalate waste; students should wear gloves and keep the salt away from food areas.

What do you need to prepare a Sodium Oxalate tender quotation?
To quote Sodium Oxalate for a tender or purchase order, send the number of 500 gm packs, the delivery location and any tender format requirements through the contact form. The registration details in the Supplier section can be entered in vendor forms.
