Product Code : SCL-LC-12259
Sodium Nitrate (SKU SCL-LC-12259) is an inorganic nitrate salt and oxidising agent for supervised chemistry practicals on nitrate salts, ionic compounds, solubility, qualitative analysis and reagent preparation. It suits school and college chemistry laboratories, science departments and institutional tenders where trained staff supervise handling. Science Lab Supplies prices and packs it at Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The sodium nitrate table sets out its formula, CAS number, oxidiser handling and storage rules, one fact per row. In short, it is NaNO3, CAS 7631-99-4, which must be kept away from combustible and organic materials, reducing agents and acids; grade, assay, physical form and pack size are confirmed on the quotation and printed on the batch label.

Applications and Experiments for Sodium Nitrate
Sodium nitrate can be used to show how a soluble ionic salt dissolves, to identify the nitrate ion, and to explain what an oxidising agent is and why it is stored apart from combustibles. It also serves supervised reagent preparation where the syllabus and Safety Data Sheet permit.
- Class 12 salt analysis: tests for the nitrate ion.
- Solubility and dissolution work with ionic compounds, measured out with a porcelain Spoon-Spatula into graduated borosilicate Beakers.
- Oxidising agents and chemical-storage safety lessons.
- Preparing supervised demonstration solutions where the syllabus permits.
Standard Scope of Supply
One unit is one pack of sodium nitrate, sent with a batch label, the Safety Data Sheet and the transport documents required for an oxidising chemical. 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 can request one pack or a quantity for every school in a programme; each quotation shows the packing, delivery time and price for that order size. Other nitrate salts and school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added so a whole practical list is priced together.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies is in a position to ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Let us know the grade and number of packs via the contact page, keep a running list in the enquiry cart, or see the lab tender page when a programme is bought by tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sodium nitrate hazardous?
Yes. It must be handled as a laboratory oxidizer. Keep it away from combustible and organic materials, reducing agents and acids, avoid inhaling dust or heating it unnecessarily, and use PPE according to the current Safety Data Sheet.
Is sodium nitrate suitable for school chemistry labs?
Yes, in school and college chemistry labs when trained staff supervise and approved practical procedures and storage rules are followed. It is not for unsupervised personal use or household purposes.
Who supplies the Sodium Nitrate?
Schools and distributors can request this nitrate salt from Science Lab Supplies, a laboratory chemicals supplier in India located in Ambala; the quotation names the grade, form and pack size.
What grade is supplied?
The grade and assay are confirmed for each batch on the label and the quotation. Tell us the grade your practical or tender requires when you enquire, and the Safety Data Sheet comes with the order.
Related Nitrate Salts, Nitric Acid and Reagent Bottles
Nitrate practicals compare several metal nitrates for solubility, precipitation and oxidiser behaviour. These items share sodium nitrate’s oxidiser storage rules or support solution work, and some carry extra toxicity hazards, so each should be stored as its own Safety Data Sheet directs.
- Potassium Nitrate — KNO3, the potassium salt of nitric acid, for crystallisation work.
- Lead Nitrate — Pb(NO3)2, a toxic lead compound for precipitation reactions.
- Barium Nitrate — Ba(NO3)2, CAS 10022-31-8, a toxic oxidizing barium salt.
- Strontium Nitrate — Sr(NO3)2, kept apart from combustibles and reducing agents.
- Copper Nitrate — cupric nitrate, an oxidizing copper salt for ionic-reaction lessons.
- Nitric Acid — HNO3, a corrosive oxidising mineral acid for nitrate chemistry.
- Glass Bottle, for Liquid Reagents (Amber) — 60 ml narrow-mouth coloured glass with frosted stopper.
