Sodium Nitrate

Product Code : SCL-LC-12259

Sodium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12259) is an inorganic nitrate salt and oxidising agent used in supervised chemistry practicals on nitrate salts, solubility, qualitative analysis and reagent preparation. School and college chemistry labs, science departments and institutional buyers stock it for teaching use. Science Lab Supplies, working from Ambala, India, supplies it to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

Sodium nitrate has the formula NaNO3 and behaves as an oxidiser, so it must be stored away from combustible and organic materials, reducing agents and acids. Grade, assay, physical form and pack size are confirmed on the quotation and printed on the batch label.

Applications and Experiments for Sodium Nitrate

Teachers use sodium nitrate to show how a soluble ionic salt dissolves and how its solubility changes with temperature, to identify the nitrate ion, and to explain what an oxidising agent is and why it is stored apart from fuels. It also serves supervised reagent preparation.

• Class 12 salt analysis: tests for the nitrate ion.
• Solubility and temperature experiments with ionic compounds.
• Oxidising agents and chemical-storage safety lessons.
• Preparing supervised demonstration solutions where the syllabus permits.

Standard Scope of Supply

One unit is one pack of sodium nitrate, with a batch label, the Safety Data Sheet and the transport documents required for an oxidising chemical. 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

You can request one pack or a quantity for every school in a programme; each quotation shows the packing, delivery time and price for that order size. Other nitrate salts and school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added so a whole practical list is priced together.

As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Write to the team on the contact page, or build an order in the enquiry cart; tender procedures are outlined on the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is sodium nitrate hazardous?
Yes. It is an oxidiser and can intensify a fire. Keep it away from combustible and organic materials, reducing agents and acids, and handle it with PPE according to the current Safety Data Sheet.

Is sodium nitrate suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes, in school and college chemistry labs when trained staff supervise and approved practical procedures and storage rules are followed. It is not for unsupervised personal use.

Who supplies the Sodium Nitrate?
It comes from Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India located in Ambala. Schools and distributors receive a quotation naming the grade, form and pack size.

What grade is supplied?
The grade and assay are confirmed per batch on the label and quotation rather than fixed on this page. Tell us the grade your practical or tender requires when you enquire.

Related Nitrate Salts

Nitrate practicals often compare several metal nitrates for solubility, precipitation and oxidiser behaviour. These four salts from the same range share sodium nitrate’s oxidiser storage rules and can be quoted with it; some carry additional toxicity hazards noted on their own pages.

• Potassium Nitrate — nitrate salt for oxidiser, solubility and crystallisation work.
• Lead Nitrate — lead(II) nitrate for precipitation reactions; trained labs only.
• Barium Nitrate — Ba(NO3)2, a hazardous nitrate for controlled qualitative work.
• Strontium Nitrate — inorganic nitrate for authorised analytical and teaching use.
