Potassium Bromide

Product Code : SCL-LC-12261

Potassium Bromide (SKU SCL-LC-12261) is an inorganic halide salt, KBr, used in supervised chemistry practicals on bromide-ion tests, halide chemistry, solution preparation and ionic compounds. School and college chemistry labs, science departments and institutional buyers keep it for qualitative inorganic work. It is supplied from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India serving schools, colleges, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

Potassium bromide has the formula KBr and the CAS number 7758-02-3. In water it gives potassium and bromide ions, the basis of the bromide tests taught in salt analysis. The grade, assay, physical form and pack size of each batch appear on the label and on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Potassium Bromide

Chemistry teachers use potassium bromide as the bromide-ion source in salt analysis and in halogen lessons, where students compare chloride, bromide and iodide and see a more reactive halogen displace bromine. It also serves solubility work and preparation of supervised reagent solutions.

• Class 12 salt analysis: identification of the bromide ion.
• Group 17 chemistry: comparing halide ions and halogen displacement reactions.
• Ionic compounds, solubility and dissociation in water.
• B.Sc. qualitative inorganic analysis involving halides.

Standard Scope of Supply

A unit is one pack of potassium bromide, supplied with a batch label, shelf-life details, 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

Price one pack for a single lab or a bulk quantity for many schools; the quotation you receive states packing, delivery time and price for that amount. Other halide salts and chemistry lab equipment in India can be quoted together to complete a salt-analysis kit list.

As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh and Zambia. Questions can be sent from the contact page, item lists from the enquiry cart, and tender details are on the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can potassium bromide be used for medical or veterinary purposes?
No. This listing is for laboratory-use potassium bromide only. It must not be used as a medicine, supplement, veterinary product or clinical material.

Is potassium bromide suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes. It can be used in supervised school and college practicals by trained staff following approved procedures, with gloves and eye protection and the Safety Data Sheet at hand.

Who supplies the Potassium Bromide?
Orders are handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Schools, colleges and distributors get a written quotation stating the grade, form and pack size before anything is dispatched.

How should potassium bromide be stored?
Keep it tightly closed in a cool, dry, ventilated chemical store, away from moisture and incompatible materials. Use clean dry tools and do not return unused material to the pack.
