Product Code : SCL-LC-12183
Magnesium Chloride Crystal (SKU SCL-LC-12183) is crystalline magnesium chloride, MgCl2, an inorganic magnesium salt used as a laboratory reagent for solution preparation, salt analysis and inorganic chemistry teaching. Schools with supervised labs, colleges, universities and analytical laboratories order it for Mg2+ tests and hard-water studies. The chemical is supplied by Science Lab Supplies of Ambala, India, a laboratory equipment supplier in India that quotes schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors directly.
Specifications
Magnesium chloride may be supplied as a hydrated form such as the hexahydrate, MgCl2·6H2O, or as the anhydrous salt. Forms differ in formula weight and storage behaviour and many absorb moisture from air, so the label names the hydrate, grade and pack size of your batch.

Applications and Experiments for Magnesium Chloride Crystal
The crystals dissolve readily to give magnesium and chloride ions, which makes them useful for cation tests, for preparing hard water in the lab and for general salt chemistry. They suit Class 11–12 practicals and B.Sc. inorganic courses under a teacher or technician.
- CBSE Class 12 salt analysis: identifying Mg2+ in the group VI tests.
- Class 11 chemistry: making up samples of permanently hard water to study hardness and its removal.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals and analytical methods that specify a magnesium chloride solution.
Standard Scope of Supply
The delivery comprises a closed container of magnesium chloride crystals labelled with batch, grade and hydrate-form details, the current Safety Data Sheet, and outer packaging with a tamper seal and export documents. The salt is for laboratory use, not for food, medical, cosmetic or de-icing use.
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
Put in any quantity, from a single container for one laboratory to a bulk lot for several campuses, and the quotation will show the packing, delivery time and price for it. Calcium, zinc or strontium salts for the same analysis scheme can be priced on that same quotation.
Registered as an exporter under an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt, Iraq and Nigeria. Use the contact page to ask a question, the enquiry cart to send a product list, and the lab tender page for bid-based purchasing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do magnesium chloride crystals become damp?
Many magnesium chloride forms absorb moisture from the air. Close the container immediately after weighing, use a dry spatula and store it in a dry cupboard to prevent clumping.
Which hydrate is supplied?
The batch label states it. Anhydrous magnesium chloride is CAS 7786-30-3, while hydrated forms such as the hexahydrate have different identifiers and weights; tell us if your method needs a specific form.
Who supplies the Magnesium Chloride Crystal?
Supply comes from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, directly to schools, colleges, distributors and contractors, with the Safety Data Sheet for the batch.
Is it hazardous to handle?
It is a laboratory chemical: dust or solution may irritate the eyes, skin or airways depending on the grade. Wear gloves, goggles and a lab coat and avoid ingestion.
Related Chloride and Magnesium Salts
Magnesium chloride is usually studied beside other alkaline earth and metal chlorides, and beside another magnesium compound for comparison. These four chemicals from the Lab Chemicals range complete that set and can be quoted with it in one order.
- Magnesium Oxide Light — magnesium oxide in its light form.
- Calcium Chloride Fussed (CaCl2) — hygroscopic calcium salt used for drying.
- Zinc Chloride — inorganic zinc salt for salt studies.
- Strontium Chloride — strontium salt for flame tests and salt analysis.
