Product Code : SCL-LC-12291
Ammonium Chloride (SKU SCL-LC-12291), NH4Cl, is an inorganic ammonium salt used in school and college chemistry for ammonium-ion tests, chloride chemistry, sublimation demonstrations, buffer preparation and qualitative salt analysis. It is a familiar reagent on both the school practical bench and the college analysis shelf. Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, strictly for laboratory rather than food or household use.
Specifications
The reagent is ammonium chloride, an ammonium salt whose solutions are weakly acidic. On controlled heating it gives white fumes used in sublimation lessons. Keep it away from strong oxidisers, alkalis, ammonium nitrate and potassium chlorate. Grade, assay, physical form and pack size are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Ammonium Chloride
In schools the salt is heated in a controlled, ventilated setup to separate it from common salt by sublimation. In salt analysis it is used with ammonium hydroxide as a group reagent and to show ammonium-ion tests, and it forms part of ammonium chloride buffers. Wear gloves and eye protection and 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 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Ammonium Chloride sublime?
It is commonly 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?
Science Lab Supplies supplies this salt from Ambala, India, with a batch label and Safety Data Sheet, and can quote it 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.
