Product Code : SCL-CL-11610
Magnesium (Bar) (SKU SCL-CL-11610) is round, silver-coloured magnesium metal supplied in a 5 m length for school and college chemistry. Short pieces can be cut from it for classic demonstrations: burning magnesium in air to form magnesium oxide and reacting the metal with dilute acid to release hydrogen. Science Lab Supplies can quote the metal from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, laboratories, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Shape, colour and length of the magnesium are tabulated below with a hazard note. In short, it is round, silver-coloured magnesium metal in a single 5 m length from which short pieces can be cut; as a reactive metal it should be kept dry in a closed container, away from acids and open flames.

Applications and Experiments for Magnesium (Bar)
Magnesium is the standard metal for showing a combination reaction and the reactivity of metals with acids. It suits NCERT Class 10 chemical reactions and metals chapters, Class 8 materials lessons and college inorganic practicals, always in small pieces and under supervision.
- NCERT Class 10 science: burning magnesium in air and testing the white ash (magnesium oxide), dissolved in water, with Red Litmus Paper.
- NCERT Class 10 science: magnesium with dilute hydrochloric acid releasing hydrogen gas in Test Tubes.
- NCERT Class 8 science: comparing the properties of metals and non-metals.
- College practicals: reactivity series and displacement reactions.
Hold burning magnesium with tongs over a heat-proof surface and do not look directly at the flame. Burning magnesium must not be put out with water; demonstrate it only with small pieces.
Standard Scope of Supply
Magnesium (Bar) is supplied as round, silver magnesium metal in a 5 m length, as described above. Tongs, a burner and eye protection can be added to the quotation. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
A quote can be requested for one length for a school or several lengths for a group of laboratories, and it states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Tongs, burning spoons and other items from a laboratory chemicals supplier in India can be quoted together.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter and can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Ask for a price through the contact page, add the metal to the enquiry cart with your other chemicals, or route a formal bid through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is magnesium metal dangerous in the school laboratory?
It is a flammable solid that burns with a very bright white flame. Use small pieces, hold them with tongs, avoid looking at the flame and keep water away from burning metal. Work only under supervision.
What length of magnesium is supplied?
It comes as round, silver magnesium metal in a single 5 m length, from which short pieces can be cut for each burning or acid-reaction experiment under supervision.
Who supplies Magnesium (Bar)?
Magnesium (Bar) is quoted by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, and can appear on a chemistry laboratory order alongside tongs, burners, indicator papers and other reagents.
Which experiments use magnesium in Class 10?
Burning magnesium in air to form magnesium oxide, and reacting magnesium with dilute acid to show hydrogen formation, both in the chemical reactions and metals chapters.
