Strontium Sulphide
Strontium Sulphide (Product Code: SCL-981/233) is an analytical reagent grade inorganic compound used to demonstrate the sulphide anion test and the crimson strontium flame in college and senior-school salt analysis. Because one sample supports tests on both ions, teachers use it to trace a single salt through the whole analysis scheme; it comes as a 500 gm pack with its MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a chemistry consumables supplier in India.

What Is Strontium Sulphide Used For?
When dilute acid is added to a little of the solid, hydrogen sulphide is released and turns moist lead acetate paper black, confirming the sulphide anion. The resulting strontium solution then gives a crimson flame, a white precipitate of strontium carbonate with ammonium carbonate, and a white precipitate of strontium sulphate with sulphate ions, letting students trace one compound through both halves of a salt analysis scheme.
Because moisture and acids both liberate hydrogen sulphide, every acid test should be carried out inside a fume cupboard, a fixture most school labs in India now plan for wherever sulphides are handled. Keep the pack tightly sealed in a dry store away from acids and oxidisers, weigh portions quickly and never smell the gas directly. The reagent is intended for chemical tests; glow-in-the-dark behaviour depends on added activators and is not a listed property of this pack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this Strontium Sulphide glow in the dark?
Glow is not a listed property of this Strontium Sulphide analytical reagent pack; luminous grades rely on specific activator metals. If you need a phosphorescent material for a demonstration, contact us before ordering so we can confirm what is available.
Why does Strontium Sulphide smell of rotten eggs?
Moisture slowly reacts with strontium sulphide to release traces of hydrogen sulphide, which has the rotten-egg smell. A noticeable odour means the pack should be opened only in a fume cupboard and resealed tightly straight after weighing.
Which tests identify both ions in Strontium Sulphide?
For the sulphide, add dilute acid to strontium sulphide and hold moist lead acetate paper in the gas, which turns black. For strontium, use the crimson flame test and precipitation as the carbonate with ammonium carbonate or as the sulphate.
What is the shelf life of Strontium Sulphide?
Strontium sulphide has no fixed shelf life stated here, because shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, and this compound reacts slowly with damp air. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
What comes in a Strontium Sulphide pack?
Each Strontium Sulphide pack holds 500 gm of analytical reagent grade material and is supplied with an MSDS covering hazards, first aid, storage away from acids and safe disposal of sulphide waste.
Who supplies Strontium Sulphide?
Strontium Sulphide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, universities and laboratory distributors in India and international markets, together with other reagents for salt analysis.
Can Strontium Sulphide be shipped internationally?
It depends on the carrier's rules for sulphide reagents at the destination. Share the country and the number of strontium sulphide packs through our contact page, and we will confirm the shipping options before quoting.
