Sodium Sulfate 100 g (Product Code: SCI-725/319) is an analytical reagent grade sodium salt used as a drying agent for organic extracts, as an inert electrolyte in water electrolysis and in sulfate tests in college and school chemistry laboratories. Its neutral, unreactive nature suits any job where a salt must carry current or remove water without joining the reaction, and each 100 g pack comes with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier to institutions.

In organic practicals, the anhydrous salt is swirled with a wet organic layer after it has been run off from a separating funnel. It takes up dissolved water and clumps together, and once fresh crystals stay free-flowing the solution is dry and can be filtered or decanted. The hydrated form, Glauber's salt, is used instead to discuss water of crystallisation and materials that store heat as they melt and freeze.
In electrolysis, a dilute Sodium Sulfate solution lets water conduct without the salt itself being discharged, so hydrogen collects at the cathode and oxygen at the anode in about a two-to-one volume ratio. A few drops of universal indicator show alkali forming around one electrode and acid around the other. Barium chloride then confirms the sulfate ion with a white precipitate.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies Sodium Sulfate 100 g through its ScienceLab brand from Ambala, Haryana, for organic, physical and inorganic chemistry teaching. The company can quote the salt together with separating funnels, flasks and electrolysis apparatus from its catalogue. Company background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

What is Sodium Sulfate 100 g used for?
Sodium Sulfate 100 g is used to dry organic extracts, as an inert electrolyte when electrolysing water, and in sulfate tests and water-of-crystallisation lessons. It is an analytical reagent grade pack supplied with MSDS for school and college chemistry laboratories.
How is Sodium Sulfate used to dry an organic solution?
Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate is added to the wet organic solution and swirled; it absorbs water and forms clumps. Keep adding small portions until some crystals stay loose, wait briefly, then filter or decant the dried liquid. Confirm the anhydrous form when you order.
Why is Sodium Sulfate added to water for electrolysis?
Pure water conducts poorly, so a little Sodium Sulfate is dissolved to carry the current. Its ions are not discharged under normal classroom conditions, leaving hydrogen at the cathode and oxygen at the anode, which is why it is a standard electrolyte for Hofmann-type water electrolysis.
What is the difference between anhydrous Sodium Sulfate and Glauber's salt?
Anhydrous Sodium Sulfate contains no water of crystallisation and works as a drying agent, while Glauber's salt is the decahydrate, which holds water of crystallisation in its crystals. This listing does not state which form the 100 g pack contains, so tell us the form you need.
What is the shelf life of Sodium Sulfate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is quoted for Sodium Sulfate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep anhydrous material tightly closed so it does not absorb moisture before use.
Can Sodium Sulfate 100 g be supplied in bulk or for export?
Yes. Sodium Sulfate 100 g can be supplied in multiple packs to schools, colleges and dealers across India and international markets. Share the quantity, form and destination, and Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, will send a quotation.
For a Sodium Sulfate 100 g quotation, send the form, pack count and delivery location through our contact page, or add the item to the enquiry cart together with separating funnels or electrolysis apparatus. We will reply with pricing and the batch expiry date.
