Product Code : SCL-LC-12280
Zinc Sulphate (SKU SCL-LC-12280), spelled zinc sulfate in many syllabuses, is an inorganic zinc salt for school and college chemistry: zinc-ion tests, sulphate chemistry, crystallisation, electrochemistry and solution preparation. Teachers and laboratory technicians use it in routine supervised practicals. Science Lab Supplies ships this salt from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors, and lists it within its school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
Zinc sulphate is ZnSO4 in anhydrous form and is also widely supplied as the heptahydrate, ZnSO4·7H2O. The two forms have different formula weights, so the hydrate form is confirmed on the batch label before solutions are weighed. Grade, assay and pack size are stated on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Zinc Sulphate
In teaching labs the salt is dissolved to prepare zinc sulphate solutions for reactivity-series, precipitation and electrochemical-cell practicals, and it is used for crystallisation and hydrate-form lessons. Wear a lab coat, gloves and eye protection, label every solution with its hydrate form and concentration, and follow institutional chemical-waste rules.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 3: comparing metal reactivity by placing metals in salt solutions such as zinc sulphate.
- Class 12 chemistry (electrochemistry): zinc electrode in zinc sulphate solution for a Daniell-type cell.
- Class 11–12 salt analysis: identifying the zinc cation and sulphate anion.
- B.Sc. inorganic practicals: crystallisation and water-of-crystallisation studies.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one pack of Zinc Sulphate supplied with a batch label that shows the hydrate form, 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
You may request one pack for a single school laboratory or bulk stock for a district or college group; the quotation specifies packing, delivery time and price for that quantity. Other sulphate salts and electrochemistry items can be added to the same quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Zinc Sulphate the same as zinc sulfate?
Yes. They are spelling variants of the same zinc salt. The anhydrous form is ZnSO4 and the heptahydrate is ZnSO4·7H2O; the label shows which one is supplied.
Is it suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes, for supervised school and college practicals handled under the teacher's procedure. Avoid dust inhalation, eye contact and ingestion, and do not discharge solutions to the environment.
Who supplies the Zinc Sulphate?
This salt is supplied by Science Lab Supplies, Ambala, India. The quotation states the hydrate form, grade and pack size, and the Safety Data Sheet accompanies the goods.
Why does the hydrate form matter?
Anhydrous and heptahydrate zinc sulphate have different formula weights, so the mass needed for a given solution strength changes. Check the label before calculating and weighing.
Related Zinc and Sulphate Salts
Reactivity-series and salt-analysis practicals usually need several metal salts side by side. These four items from the same Lab Chemicals range complement zinc sulphate with other zinc salts and the copper and iron sulphates used in the same lessons, and they can share one quotation.
- Copper Sulphate Blue Crystal — copper(II) sulphate for crystallisation and electrochemistry.
- Ferrous Sulphate Green Crystal — iron(II) sulphate for salt and redox work.
- Zinc Chloride — zinc salt, ZnCl2, for zinc salt studies.
