Zinc Sulphate

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 in supervised practicals. Schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, together with other school chemistry lab equipment in India.
Specifications
Both zinc sulphate formulas, plus handling, storage and documents, appear row by row in the table. In short, the salt is ZnSO4 when anhydrous and ZnSO4·7H2O as the widely supplied heptahydrate; the two weigh differently per mole, so the batch label confirms the hydrate form before any solution is weighed out.

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 serves crystallisation and hydrate-form lessons. Weigh it with a porcelain Spoon-Spatula, wear gloves and eye protection, label each solution with its hydrate form and concentration, and follow institutional waste rules.
- NCERT Class 10 science, Chapter 3: comparing metal reactivity by placing metals such as Copper Metal Turning in zinc sulphate solution.
- 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, with crystals dried on a Watch Glass.
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, shelf-life detail 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.
Registered as an exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Tanzania, Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and the Philippines. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). State the hydrate form you need in a message on the contact page, or list the salt with your sulphates in the enquiry cart; public bids start from the lab tender page.
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, and 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?
Orders for this zinc salt are handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India; the quotation states hydrate form, grade and pack size, and the Safety Data Sheet travels with 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.
