What Is Zinc Chloride Used For?
Lucas reagent is made by dissolving zinc chloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid. It distinguishes tertiary alcohols, which turn the mixture cloudy almost at once, from secondary alcohols, which react within a few minutes, and primary alcohols, which stay clear at room temperature, making it a standard organic identification practical.
In inorganic analysis, sodium hydroxide gives white zinc hydroxide that dissolves in excess, and ammonia behaves the same way, forming a colourless zinc ammine complex that separates zinc from aluminium. Zinc chloride is also the traditional soldering flux because it dissolves oxide films on metal surfaces. It is very hygroscopic and corrosive to skin and eyes, so keep it tightly sealed and handle it with gloves and goggles.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Product code SCI-605/263 and the number of 200 g packs.
- Whether concentrated hydrochloric acid for Lucas reagent should be quoted together.
- Delivery location, in India or abroad.
Supplier
Colleges that prepare Lucas reagent every term, and the dealers who serve them, can buy Zinc Chloride 200 g from ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala. Indian institutions can add the supplying company to their vendor list using GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT, and overseas buyers can note that it trades internationally under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A issued by the DGFT.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Zinc Chloride 200 g used in the Lucas test?
Zinc Chloride 200 g is dissolved in concentrated hydrochloric acid to make Lucas reagent. Tertiary alcohols turn the reagent cloudy almost at once, secondary alcohols within a few minutes, and primary alcohols stay clear at room temperature.
What pack does Zinc Chloride 200 g SCI-605/263 come in?
Zinc Chloride 200 g, code SCI-605/263, is a single 200 g pack of analytical reagent grade zinc chloride, supplied with an MSDS. Order several packs if Lucas reagent is prepared for many practical batches.
Why does Zinc Chloride 200 g absorb water?
Zinc Chloride 200 g is very hygroscopic, so it quickly takes up moisture from air and can become sticky or even liquefy. Reseal the pack immediately after weighing and store it in a dry cabinet away from bases and metals.
Is Zinc Chloride 200 g corrosive?
Yes. Zinc Chloride 200 g is corrosive, can burn skin and seriously damage eyes, and is toxic to aquatic life. Wear gloves and goggles, avoid raising dust, and follow the MSDS supplied with the pack.
What is the shelf life of Zinc Chloride 200 g?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keeping Zinc Chloride 200 g sealed and dry stops it absorbing water.
What should a quotation request for Zinc Chloride 200 g include?
A quotation request for Zinc Chloride 200 g should list the product code SCI-605/263, the number of packs, any hydrochloric acid or glassware needed for Lucas reagent, and the delivery location. Send it through the contact page.
