Strontium Bromide
Strontium Bromide (Product Code: SCL-977/231) is an analytical reagent grade strontium salt used to demonstrate the crimson strontium flame test and to identify the bromide ion in school and college salt analysis. One compound covers two tests, which makes it a practical choice when building a flame test kit for school use; it comes as a 500 gm pack with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Strontium Bromide Used For?
For the flame test, a clean wire loop is moistened with concentrated hydrochloric acid, dipped into a few crystals and held at the edge of a non-luminous Bunsen flame, where strontium gives a persistent crimson colour. Placing it beside lithium (carmine) and calcium (brick red) salts shows students how carefully they must look to tell similar reds apart. Clean the loop in acid and flame it between samples until it no longer colours the flame. Because the same salt also covers the halide tests, it earns a place in a salt analysis kit for school practicals.
For the anion, a solution acidified with dilute nitric acid gives a pale cream precipitate of silver bromide with silver nitrate, only partly soluble in concentrated ammonia. In the layer test, chlorine water displaces bromine, which colours an organic solvent layer orange-brown. Strontium bromide is an eye and skin irritant and absorbs moisture from the air, so wear eye protection near the flame, keep the container closed and store it in a dry cupboard.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers by its ScienceLab brand, supplies Strontium Bromide from Ambala, Haryana, India. Inorganic salts for flame and anion tests are sourced for schools, colleges, universities and dealers, and can be combined with apparatus orders for delivery in India and international markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What flame colour does Strontium Bromide give?
Strontium bromide gives a strong crimson red flame from the strontium ion. The shade is easiest to judge against lithium and calcium salts tested with the same clean loop and non-luminous Bunsen flame, since all three produce reds that students can confuse.
How is the bromide ion in Strontium Bromide confirmed?
The bromide in strontium bromide is confirmed with silver nitrate in dilute nitric acid, which gives a pale cream precipitate, and with the chlorine water layer test, in which released bromine colours an organic solvent layer orange-brown.
Why has the Strontium Bromide clumped in the bottle?
Strontium bromide is hygroscopic and picks up water vapour whenever the lid is left off. Clumping does not affect its use in qualitative tests, but the pack should be stored tightly closed in a dry cupboard to keep it free-flowing.
What safety information comes with Strontium Bromide?
Each pack of strontium bromide comes with an MSDS covering eye and skin irritation, first aid, storage and disposal. Eye protection is advisable during flame testing, and students should keep loose sleeves and hair away from the Bunsen flame.
What is the shelf life of Strontium Bromide?
No blanket shelf life is quoted for strontium bromide, because shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and keep the container sealed against moisture.
Who supplies Strontium Bromide?
Strontium Bromide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, Ambala, Haryana, India, in 500 gm analytical reagent packs with an MSDS, for teaching laboratories and distributors in India and international markets.
Can other flame test salts be quoted with Strontium Bromide?
Yes. Add strontium bromide and the other salts on your flame test list to the enquiry cart, and we will return a single quotation that covers the complete set instead of separate enquiries for each reagent.
