Zinc Sulfate 100 g
Zinc Sulfate 100 g (Product Code: SCI-728/320) is an analytical reagent grade zinc salt used as the electrolyte for the zinc half-cell of a Daniell cell, in reactivity-series experiments and in zinc ion tests in school and college chemistry laboratories. It forms colourless solutions that pair clearly with blue copper sulfate when students assemble an electrochemical cell kit in school, and each 100 g pack includes an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is Zinc Sulfate Used For?
In the Daniell cell, a zinc plate stands in Zinc Sulfate solution and a copper electrode in copper sulfate solution, the two joined by a salt bridge or porous pot. Zinc gives up electrons more readily than copper, so a voltmeter across the electrodes shows a steady reading that students can relate to the reactivity series.
Displacement tests use the same solution in reverse: a strip of copper left in Zinc Sulfate shows no change, confirming that copper is less reactive than zinc. For ion identification, sodium hydroxide gives a white zinc hydroxide precipitate that redissolves in excess, as does ammonia solution, helping students tell zinc apart from magnesium and aluminium. The salt is harmful if swallowed, can damage the eyes and is toxic to aquatic life, so wear goggles and collect the waste.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of 100 g packs for your cell-building groups.
- Whether zinc plates, copper electrodes, copper sulfate or a Daniell cell should be quoted together.
- Any hydration form your method specifies.
- Your delivery address within India or abroad.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Zinc Sulfate 100 g used for?
Zinc Sulfate 100 g is used as the zinc half-cell electrolyte in Daniell cells, in displacement experiments on the reactivity series and in qualitative tests for zinc ions. It is an analytical reagent grade pack supplied with MSDS for school and college laboratories.
How is Zinc Sulfate used in a Daniell cell?
In a Daniell cell, Zinc Sulfate solution surrounds the zinc electrode while copper sulfate solution surrounds the copper electrode, with a salt bridge or porous pot between them. Zinc is oxidised, electrons flow through the external circuit to copper, and the cell gives a measurable voltage.
Why does copper not react with Zinc Sulfate solution?
Copper does not react with Zinc Sulfate solution because copper is less reactive than zinc and cannot displace it. Zinc placed in copper sulfate does react, so running both tests side by side gives students clear evidence for the order of the reactivity series.
How are zinc ions identified in Zinc Sulfate?
Zinc ions in Zinc Sulfate give a white precipitate with sodium hydroxide that dissolves again in excess, and the same happens with excess ammonia solution. Together these two results distinguish zinc from magnesium and aluminium during qualitative salt analysis.
What is the shelf life of Zinc Sulfate?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions, so no fixed period is stated for Zinc Sulfate. Ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the pack closed in a cool, dry cabinet away from food and drink.
Can Zinc Sulfate 100 g be ordered with Daniell cell apparatus?
Yes. Zinc Sulfate 100 g can be quoted together with a Daniell cell, zinc plates, copper electrodes and copper sulfate for delivery across India and international markets. Send your list and destination to Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, for a combined quotation.
