Product Code : SCL-LC-12265
Copper Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12265), also known as cupric nitrate, is an inorganic copper salt used in supervised chemistry practicals on copper compounds, nitrate salts, qualitative analysis and solution preparation, and in lessons on storing oxidisers safely. Schools, colleges and science departments use it for teacher-led salt chemistry. Buyers order it from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which serves schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Copper nitrate is copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, and it exists in several hydrated forms such as the trihydrate and hexahydrate as well as the anhydrous salt. The form, grade, assay and pack size supplied are printed on the batch label and confirmed in the quotation. It must be handled as an oxidiser.

Applications and Experiments for Copper Nitrate
Chemistry teachers use cupric nitrate to show the properties of transition-metal salts and nitrates: the blue colour of copper(II) ions in solution, their reactions in qualitative analysis and the hydrated forms of the salt. It also serves as a practical example when teaching how oxidisers are stored.
- Class 11–12 chemistry practicals: salt analysis, identifying the copper(II) cation and the nitrate anion.
- Class 12 chemistry: the d- and f-block elements unit, with copper salts as coloured transition-metal compounds.
- Preparing copper nitrate solutions for supervised practical work.
- Chemical-safety lessons on separating oxidisers from combustible materials.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit ordered is one pack of copper nitrate in the hydrate form and quantity given on the quotation, labelled with batch and hazard information 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
One pack for a single lab or a bulk quantity for a group of schools can both be quoted; the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for whichever you ask for. Other copper salts and school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added to the same enquiry.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. For a quotation, use the contact page or build a list in the enquiry cart; buyers preparing a tender can refer to the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula of copper nitrate?
Copper nitrate is copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2. Because it is sold as the anhydrous salt or as hydrates, check the label of your batch for the exact form and water of crystallisation.
Is copper nitrate hazardous?
Yes. It is an oxidiser that can intensify a fire and is harmful if swallowed or in contact with eyes and skin. Store it closed, away from paper, wood, organic materials and reducing agents, and handle it with gloves and eye protection.
Who supplies the Copper Nitrate?
Science Lab Supplies provides it from Ambala, India, as a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, confirming grade, hydrate form and pack size for school, college and distributor orders.
Can schools use copper nitrate?
Yes, in supervised school and college chemistry labs where trained staff run the practical under institutional safety rules and the current Safety Data Sheet.
