Sulphuric Acid Dilute
Sulphuric Acid Dilute (Product Code: SCL-985/235) is ready-diluted sulphuric acid used to acidify permanganate titrations, run preliminary anion tests and prepare hydrogen in school and college chemistry laboratories. Offered in a 500 ml analytical reagent pack with its MSDS, it lets students work at the bench without handling the concentrated acid. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, a lab chemicals supplier in India.

What Is Dilute Sulphuric Acid Used For?
In redox titrations with potassium permanganate, whether against oxalic acid or ferrous ammonium sulphate (Mohr's salt), dilute sulphuric acid supplies the acidic medium. It is preferred because hydrochloric acid would itself be oxidised by permanganate and nitric acid is an oxidising agent in its own right, either of which would distort the titre. A measured portion is added to each flask before titrating.
It is also the first reagent reached for in any salt analysis kit for school practicals: warming a salt with dilute acid shows carbonate by effervescence that turns lime water milky, sulphide by gas that blackens lead acetate paper, sulphite by a pungent gas, nitrite by brown fumes and acetate by a vinegar smell. With granulated zinc it produces hydrogen that burns with a squeaky pop. Even dilute, the acid irritates eyes and skin, so goggles are essential; if further dilution is needed, always add acid slowly to water, never the reverse.

Frequently Asked Questions
What concentration is Sulphuric Acid Dilute?
The concentration of Sulphuric Acid Dilute is not stated in the current product listing. Please contact us with the strength your method requires, such as the normality used in your titration scheme, so we can confirm before you order.
Why use Sulphuric Acid Dilute rather than hydrochloric acid in permanganate titrations?
Because permanganate oxidises chloride ions, which would consume extra titrant and give a false result. Sulphate ions from dilute sulphuric acid are not oxidised, so the titre reflects only the oxalic acid or Mohr's salt being analysed.
Can Sulphuric Acid Dilute be used to make hydrogen in class?
Yes. Added to granulated zinc in a flask or boiling tube, dilute sulphuric acid releases hydrogen, which can be collected over water and tested with a lighted splint for the characteristic squeaky pop.
What is the shelf life of Sulphuric Acid Dilute?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no blanket period is quoted for this dilute sulphuric acid. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the bottle tightly capped in an acid cabinet.
How should Sulphuric Acid Dilute be stored and handled?
Keep dilute sulphuric acid tightly capped on a low shelf or in an acid cabinet, away from bases, reactive metals and organic materials. Wear goggles when pouring, and follow the MSDS supplied with each 500 ml pack for splashes and spill neutralisation.
Who supplies Sulphuric Acid Dilute?
Sulphuric Acid Dilute is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, in 500 ml analytical reagent packs with an MSDS, for school and college laboratories and distributors in India and international markets.
Which registration details can procurement teams use for Sulphuric Acid Dilute?
The GSTIN and Importer-Exporter Code shown in the Supplier section can be quoted in vendor forms when buying Sulphuric Acid Dilute. For any other documents, send your requirements through the contact form and we will confirm what can be provided.
