Product Code : SCL-LC-12292
Zinc Acetate (SKU SCL-LC-12292), also called zinc diacetate, is a zinc salt reagent for supervised inorganic chemistry: preparing test solutions, studying zinc and acetate ions, and observing salt hydrolysis. Chemistry teachers, laboratory technicians and college science departments keep it for practical classes. Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, sends it from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The salt is written Zn(CH3COO)2 in its anhydrous form and Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O as the dihydrate. The two forms have different formula weights, so check which one the label names before you weigh out a solution. Grade, assay, physical form and pack size appear on the label and on your quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Zinc Acetate
In the teaching laboratory the salt is dissolved to make zinc-ion test solutions, used in salt analysis for the zinc cation and the acetate anion, and used to discuss hydrolysis, because both of its ions react with water. All of this work should follow the institution’s written procedure and the Safety Data Sheet.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: salt analysis tests for the zinc ion and the acetate ion.
- Class 11 chemistry: salt hydrolysis and the pH of salt solutions.
- B.Sc. inorganic chemistry: qualitative analysis of mixtures containing zinc salts.
Wear gloves, eye protection and a lab coat, and collect zinc-containing residues as chemical waste, never down the drain.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order is one pack of zinc acetate in the quantity quoted, labelled with its batch details and sent with its 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
Order a single pack for a school stockroom or several packs to cover a term of practicals; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the amount you name. It can share one quotation with other zinc salts, acetate reagents and chemistry lab equipment in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is zinc acetate used for in a school or college lab?
It is used to prepare zinc acetate solutions, to practise zinc and acetate ion tests in salt analysis, and to illustrate salt hydrolysis, always under a teacher’s or technician’s supervision.
What is the formula of zinc acetate?
The anhydrous salt is Zn(CH3COO)2 and the dihydrate is Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O. The label states which form you have, which matters when you calculate masses for a solution.
Who supplies the Zinc Acetate?
It comes from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, which supplies lab chemicals to schools, colleges and distributors; each quotation confirms grade, hydrate form and pack size.
Is zinc acetate the same as zinc chloride?
No. They are different zinc salts with different anions, formulas and handling needs. Check the name, formula and hydrate form on the label before using either one in a method.
Related Zinc Salts and Acetate Reagents
Salt-analysis practicals often compare one cation across several anions, or one anion across several cations. These four reagents from the same Lab Chemicals range add two more zinc salts and two more acetates to this order, and all can be priced together.
- Zinc Chloride — zinc salt for analytical methods and hygroscopic-salt demonstrations.
- Zinc Sulphate — zinc salt for sulphate teaching, precipitation and electrochemistry work.
- Sodium Acetate — acetate salt for buffer preparation and hydrolysis lessons.
- Lead Acetate — lead(II) acetate for precipitation reactions in trained laboratories only.
