Product Code : SCL-LC-12296
Ammonium Hydroxide (SKU SCL-LC-12296), also sold as ammonia solution or aqueous ammonia, is a weak alkali reagent for supervised chemistry work: salt analysis, ammonium-ion and metal-ion tests, pH adjustment and lessons on weak bases. It suits colleges and school laboratories where trained staff control dispensing and ventilation. Bottles of this solution are quoted and sent from Ambala, India, by Science Lab Supplies to schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Each fact about this ammonia solution is set out in the table that follows. In outline, the reagent is commonly written NH4OH although it is really ammonia dissolved in water; it is corrosive and volatile, vapour pressure can build in a warm bottle, and the percentage strength is confirmed on the label and quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Ammonium Hydroxide
In qualitative analysis, ammonium hydroxide is added with ammonium chloride to precipitate metal hydroxides in Test Tubes and separate cations into groups. It is also the standard example of a weak base in pH lessons, and dilute solutions can adjust pH in prepared reagents under a written procedure.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: group reagent in systematic salt analysis for cations.
- Class 10 science: weak and strong bases and their pH.
- B.Sc. inorganic chemistry: semi-micro qualitative analysis of mixtures.
- Laboratory safety training: ventilation and handling volatile corrosive liquids while wearing Protective Gloves against Acids, Bases and Solvents.
Standard Scope of Supply
One container of ammonium hydroxide is supplied in the pack size quoted, labelled with batch, concentration and hazard details and sent with 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.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You may request one bottle or enough for a full year of salt-analysis classes; the quotation then gives the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Ammonium salts and other reagents from our laboratory chemicals range can be added to the same request.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and Ethiopia. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). Mention the strength and bottle count you want in a note on the contact page, or queue the solution with your analysis reagents in the enquiry cart; tendering bodies can follow the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is ammonium hydroxide hazardous?
Yes. It is corrosive and irritating, and ammonia vapour escapes from the solution. Use it in a fume hood or well-ventilated room with gloves and eye or face protection, keep it away from acids, and never issue it for unsupervised student use.
What concentration is supplied?
The percentage strength, grade and bottle size of the batch offered are stated on the label and confirmed in the quotation before you order, so you can match them to your written procedure.
Who supplies the Ammonium Hydroxide?
This ammonia solution comes through Science Lab Supplies, an Ambala-based firm in India; its quotation names the concentration, grade and container size, and other salt-analysis reagents can be listed alongside.
How should the bottle be stored?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, well-ventilated chemical store with secondary containment, apart from acids, strong oxidisers and heavy metal salts. Open it slowly, because vapour pressure can build up inside.
