Product Code : SCL-LC-12291
Ammonium Chloride (SKU SCL-LC-12291), NH4Cl, is an inorganic ammonium salt for school and college chemistry: ammonium-ion tests, chloride chemistry, sublimation demonstrations, buffer preparation and qualitative salt analysis. It fits both the school practical bench and the college analysis shelf. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can order it through Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for laboratory rather than food or household use.
Specifications
The ammonium chloride rows move from formula and CAS number to heating, incompatibilities and paperwork. In short, the reagent is NH4Cl, CAS 12125-02-9, 53.49 g/mol, an ammonium salt with weakly acidic solutions that gives white fumes on controlled heating; it is kept from strong oxidisers, alkalis, ammonium nitrate and potassium chlorate.

Applications and Experiments for Ammonium Chloride
In schools the salt can be heated in a controlled, ventilated setup on a Cast Iron Tripod Stand to separate it from common salt by sublimation. In salt analysis it pairs with ammonium hydroxide as a group reagent, and ammonia released in the ammonium-ion test turns Red Litmus Paper blue. Avoid breathing fumes.
- NCERT Class 9 science, Chapter 2: separating a mixture of common salt and ammonium chloride by sublimation.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: group reagent with ammonium hydroxide and tests for the ammonium ion.
- Class 11 chemistry (equilibrium): ammonium chloride and ammonia buffer solutions.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: qualitative analysis of cations.
Standard Scope of Supply
One pack of Ammonium Chloride is supplied per order line, with a batch label, the Safety Data Sheet, shelf-life detail and transport documents. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Grade and pack size are set on the quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one pack or a supply for many school chemistry labs, the quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Ammonium hydroxide and other salt-analysis reagents can be listed in the same request to this laboratory chemicals supplier in India.
Science Lab Supplies, registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. A sublimation or salt-analysis order can be outlined on the contact page or put together in the enquiry cart; when a tender governs the purchase, consult the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ammonium Chloride sublime?
It is used in classroom sublimation demonstrations, where heating produces white fumes that re-form as solid on a cooler surface. Any heating must follow the Safety Data Sheet and be done with ventilation.
Is it hazardous?
It needs SDS-based handling. Avoid breathing dust or heated fumes, eye contact and ingestion, do not overheat it, and keep it apart from strong oxidisers, alkalis and other incompatible salts.
Who supplies the Ammonium Chloride?
This salt is batch-labelled and shipped by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, with its Safety Data Sheet, and it can be priced together with other salt-analysis reagents.
Is it suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes, for supervised school and college practicals where trained staff control dispensing, heating demonstrations, storage and disposal, and students avoid breathing any fumes produced.
