Product Code : SCL-LC-12174
Barium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12174) is Ba(NO3)2, a toxic, oxidizing barium salt supplied as an inorganic reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. Colleges, universities, analytical labs and supervised senior-school labs use it in qualitative analysis, barium-salt chemistry and methods that specify it. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, quotes it from Ambala for institutions, chemical stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Barium nitrate has the formula Ba(NO3)2, CAS number 10022-31-8 and a molecular weight of about 261.4 g/mol. It is both toxic, as a soluble barium compound, and an oxidizer, so it is kept apart from combustible and reducing materials. Grade and pack size are stated on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Barium Nitrate
Barium nitrate provides barium ions for qualitative inorganic analysis and barium-salt chemistry, for example in precipitation tests and teacher-led flame tests. It is also used in analytical methods that name it and in training staff to label, segregate and store oxidizing chemicals correctly.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: teacher-demonstrated flame test and reactions of barium ions.
- B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis: barium-salt reactions under supervision.
- Analytical and research labs: procedures that specify CAS 10022-31-8.
- Stockroom training on oxidizer segregation and hazardous-waste handling.
Use gloves and eye protection, never mix it with combustible or organic material, and never use it for fireworks, pyrotechnics or explosive mixtures. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Barium Nitrate comes in a sealed container labelled with batch, grade and hazard details, supplied with its Safety Data Sheet in tamper-sealed outer packing. The container size is given on the quotation; oxidizer storage cabinets and secondary containment are separate.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one container for a teaching lab or stock for a university store, the quotation lists the pack size, packing for oxidizing goods, delivery time and price. Other salts used in the same qualitative-analysis course can be added.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda, in line with the transport rules for oxidizing substances. The contact page takes direct questions, the enquiry cart gathers several items, and the lab tender page covers tender supply.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is barium nitrate used for in the lab?
It is a source of barium ions for qualitative inorganic analysis, barium-salt chemistry and teacher-led flame tests, and it is used in analytical methods that specifically require it.
Is barium nitrate dangerous?
Yes. It is toxic and an oxidizer. Handle it with gloves and eye protection, store it away from combustibles and reducing agents, and dispose of residues as hazardous waste.
Can schools use barium nitrate?
Only authorised school or college laboratories with trained supervision, oxidizer storage and hazardous-waste arrangements. Students should not handle it unsupervised, and it must never be used for fireworks.
Who supplies Barium Nitrate?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, giving colleges, laboratories, contractors and distributors a direct quotation with the pack size and batch details.
