Applications and Experiments for Ammonium Molybdate
The salt is dissolved to make molybdate reagent, which reacts with phosphate to give the coloured products used in qualitative identification and colorimetric estimation. It also supports inorganic studies of molybdenum and molybdate ions and teaches careful weighing and dissolution of analytical reagents.
- Class 12 salt analysis: confirmatory test for the phosphate ion.
- B.Sc. qualitative inorganic analysis involving phosphate and molybdate ions.
- Colorimetric phosphate teaching methods in analytical and environmental chemistry labs.
- Research work that needs a documented molybdate reagent.
Standard Scope of Supply
The order contains the ammonium molybdate container in the pack size quoted, a label stating batch, form, grade and hazards, the Safety Data Sheet, and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export documentation. 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
Whether you need one bottle for a practical room or stock for a whole analytical section, the quotation states packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. The acids and ammonium salts used alongside molybdate reagent can be priced on the same quotation, together with any other chemistry lab equipment in India you need.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh. Questions and orders go through the contact page; you can also build a list in the enquiry cart or read the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is ammonium molybdate used for in the lab?
It is used to prepare molybdate reagent for phosphate tests and colorimetric methods, for molybdate chemistry and for controlled teaching practicals in school, college and analytical laboratories.
What is the formula of ammonium molybdate?
It depends on the form supplied. Common laboratory forms include ammonium heptamolybdate-type salts, so the formula and CAS number are taken from the label and Safety Data Sheet of your batch.
Who supplies the Ammonium Molybdate?
Science Lab Supplies sends it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and distributors, and the quotation identifies the form, grade and pack size being offered for your order.
How should ammonium molybdate be handled?
Wear gloves, eye protection and a lab coat, weigh it with a clean dry spatula and avoid breathing the dust. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry store and dispose of residues as molybdate-containing waste.
