Product Code : SCL-LC-12174
Barium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12174) is Ba(NO3)2, a toxic, oxidizing barium salt offered as an inorganic reagent for authorised chemistry laboratories. It suits colleges, universities, analytical labs and supervised senior-school labs working on qualitative analysis, barium-salt chemistry and methods that specify it. Institutions, chemical stockrooms, tender contractors and distributors can have it quoted by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.
Specifications
Formula, hazard class and storage rules for barium nitrate are set out in the table below. In short, it is Ba(NO3)2, CAS 10022-31-8, molecular weight about 261.4 g/mol, both toxic as a soluble barium compound and an oxidizer, so it is kept apart from combustible and reducing materials. Grade and pack size are stated on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Barium Nitrate
Barium nitrate provides barium ions for qualitative inorganic analysis and barium-salt chemistry, for example in precipitation tests and teacher-led flame tests. It also suits analytical methods that name it and training for staff who label, segregate and store oxidizing chemicals.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: teacher-demonstrated flame test for barium, using a Beck Bunsen burner with adjustable gas and air flow.
- B.Sc. inorganic qualitative analysis: barium-salt precipitation reactions in Test Tubes under supervision.
- Analytical and research labs: procedures that specify CAS 10022-31-8.
- Stockroom training on oxidizer segregation and hazardous-waste handling, with reusable anti-fog Safety Glasses worn.
Use gloves and eye protection, never mix it with combustible or organic material, and never use it for fireworks, pyrotechnics or explosive mixtures. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Standard Scope of Supply
Barium Nitrate comes in a sealed container labelled with batch, grade and hazard details, supplied with its Safety Data Sheet in tamper-sealed outer packing with export documentation. The container size is given on the quotation, and other qualitative-analysis salts or glassware can be added to it.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Whether you need one container for a teaching lab or stock for a university store, the quotation lists the pack size, packing for oxidizing goods, delivery time and price. Other salts used in the same qualitative-analysis course can be added.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is able to ship to buyers in Oman, the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia and Rwanda, in line with the transport rules for oxidizing substances. Authorised laboratories may send their barium nitrate requirement through the contact page, bundle it with other salts in the enquiry cart, or follow tender steps on the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is barium nitrate used for in the lab?
It is a source of barium ions for qualitative inorganic analysis, barium-salt chemistry and teacher-led flame tests, and it is used in analytical methods that specifically require it.
Is barium nitrate dangerous?
Yes. It is toxic and an oxidizer. Handle it with gloves and eye protection, store it away from combustibles and reducing agents, and dispose of residues as hazardous waste.
Can schools use barium nitrate?
Only authorised school or college laboratories with trained supervision, oxidizer storage and hazardous-waste arrangements. Students should not handle it unsupervised, and it must never be used for fireworks.
Who supplies Barium Nitrate?
Quotations for barium nitrate are issued by Science Lab Supplies at Ambala, India, to colleges, laboratories, contractors and distributors, each giving the pack size, batch details and the oxidizer packing used for transport.
