Product Code : SCL-LC-12265
Copper Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12265), also known as cupric nitrate, is an inorganic copper salt used in supervised chemistry practicals on copper compounds, nitrate salts, qualitative analysis and solution preparation, and in lessons on storing oxidisers safely. It suits teacher-led salt chemistry in schools, colleges and science departments. Orders are handled by Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, whose quotations go to schools, colleges, institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
Copper nitrate's formula, hydrate options, hazard and storage needs are set out one per row below. In short, it is copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2, available as the anhydrous salt or as hydrates such as the trihydrate and hexahydrate; it must be handled as an oxidiser, and the form, grade and pack size are confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for Copper Nitrate
Cupric nitrate can be used to show the properties of transition-metal salts and nitrates, the reactions of copper(II) ions in qualitative analysis and the hydrated forms of the salt. It also serves as a practical example when teaching how oxidisers are stored, away from combustibles and reducing agents.
- Class 11–12 chemistry practicals: salt analysis, identifying the copper(II) cation and the nitrate anion.
- Class 12 chemistry: the d- and f-block elements unit, with copper salts as transition-metal compounds.
- Preparing copper nitrate solutions for supervised practical work in a glass Chemical Glasses (Beaker) 250ml, measuring the salt with a clean, dry metal Spatula.
- Chemical-safety lessons on separating oxidisers from combustible materials.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit ordered is one pack of copper nitrate in the hydrate form and quantity given on the quotation, labelled with batch and hazard information and sent with 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
One pack for a single lab or a bulk quantity for a group of schools can both be quoted; the quotation sets out packing, delivery time and price for whichever you ask for. Other copper salts and school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added to the same enquiry.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar and Sri Lanka. Pricing requests can go through the contact page or a saved list in the enquiry cart; for tender documents, refer to the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the formula of copper nitrate?
Copper nitrate is copper(II) nitrate, Cu(NO3)2. Because it is sold as the anhydrous salt or as hydrates, check the label of your batch for the exact form and water of crystallisation.
Is copper nitrate hazardous?
Yes. It must be handled as an oxidising laboratory chemical and must not be ingested, inhaled as dust or allowed to contact skin or eyes. Store it closed, away from paper, wood, organic materials and reducing agents, and wear gloves and Safety Glasses.
Who supplies the Copper Nitrate?
Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, handles this salt from Ambala. Each quotation for a school, college or distributor confirms the grade, hydrate form and pack size before dispatch.
Can schools use copper nitrate?
Yes, in supervised school and college chemistry labs where trained staff run the practical under institutional safety rules and the current Safety Data Sheet, with suitable PPE.
