Product Code : SCL-LC-12292
Zinc Acetate (SKU SCL-LC-12292), also called zinc diacetate, is a zinc salt reagent for supervised inorganic chemistry: preparing test solutions, studying zinc and acetate ions, and observing salt hydrolysis. It suits school, college and science-department practicals run under trained supervision. As a laboratory chemicals supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies dispatches this salt from its Ambala base for school stockrooms, college departments, tender contractors and resellers.
Specifications
The zinc acetate table below sets out each fact about this reagent, row by row. In short, the salt is written Zn(CH3COO)2 in its anhydrous form and Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O as the dihydrate; the two have different formula weights, so check which one the label names before you weigh out a solution.

Applications and Experiments for Zinc Acetate
In the teaching laboratory the salt is dissolved in a Borosilicate Beaker to make zinc-ion test solutions, used in salt analysis for the zinc cation and the acetate anion, and used to discuss hydrolysis, because both of its ions react with water. All of this work should follow the institution’s written procedure and the Safety Data Sheet.
- Class 11–12 chemistry: salt analysis tests for the zinc ion and the acetate ion, with the solid measured out on a metal Spatula.
- Class 11 chemistry: salt hydrolysis and the pH of salt solutions.
- B.Sc. inorganic chemistry: qualitative analysis of mixtures containing zinc salts, warming tubes gripped in a Test Tube Holder with Handle.
Wear gloves, eye protection and a lab coat, and collect zinc-containing residues as chemical waste, never down the drain.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each order is one pack of zinc acetate in the quantity quoted, labelled with its batch details and sent with its 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
Order a single pack for a school stockroom or several packs to cover a term of practicals; the quotation lists packing, delivery time and price for the amount you name. It can share one quotation with other zinc salts, acetate reagents and chemistry lab equipment in India.
As a registered exporter with an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru, Egypt and Iraq. Science Lab Supplies is registered for GST (GSTIN 06ADEPJ0574F2ZU). A zinc acetate price request can start on the contact page; salts for a whole analysis bench can be gathered in the enquiry cart, and formal bids are handled through the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is zinc acetate used for in a school or college lab?
It is used to prepare zinc acetate solutions, to practise zinc and acetate ion tests in salt analysis, and to illustrate salt hydrolysis, always under a teacher’s or technician’s supervision.
What is the formula of zinc acetate?
The anhydrous salt is Zn(CH3COO)2 and the dihydrate is Zn(CH3COO)2·2H2O. The label states which form you have, which matters when you calculate masses for a solution.
Who supplies the Zinc Acetate?
This zinc salt is sourced and dispatched by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India. Its quotation names the grade, hydrate form and pack size, and can carry other lab chemicals and glassware for the same order.
Is zinc acetate the same as zinc chloride?
No. They are different zinc salts with different anions, formulas and handling needs. Check the name, formula and hydrate form on the label before using either one in a method.
