How Does It Compare with Other JLab Magnesium Ribbon?
| Listing | Width | Thickness | Other listed details |
|---|---|---|---|
| This ribbon (EL-SLE-4629) | 3.2 mm | 0.25 mm | 25 g ribbons; assay minimum 99%; bulk jar and drum packing |
| Magnesium Ribbon | 4 mm | 0.2 mm | Listed with melting point, boiling range and heat of fusion; weight per pack not stated |
Choose this listing when you want ribbon sold by weight in 25 g units with a stated minimum assay, or packed in jars and drums for a large school order. The other listing gives a wider, thinner ribbon and physical data rather than a pack weight.
What Is Magnesium Ribbon Used For?
Magnesium ribbon is the standard reactive metal of the school chemistry bench. In the class 10 science chapter on chemical reactions, students clean a short piece with sandpaper to remove the dull surface layer, hold it in tongs and burn it: it gives a dazzling white flame and leaves a white powder of magnesium oxide (2Mg + O2 → 2MgO). Dissolved in water, that oxide turns red litmus blue, showing that metal oxides are basic. Dropped into dilute hydrochloric acid, the ribbon fizzes and gives hydrogen, which burns with a pop (Mg + 2HCl → MgCl2 + H2), a reaction also used in college practicals on reaction rates and gas volumes.
Burn magnesium over a heat-resistant surface, holding it with tongs at arm’s length, and do not stare at the flame, which is intensely bright. Never use water on burning magnesium — smother it with dry sand. Keep the ribbon in a tightly closed jar in a dry place away from acids and oxidising agents, because it slowly tarnishes in moist air. Magnesium is normally classed as a flammable solid for transport, so export consignments are packed and documented accordingly.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units of 25 g; for larger orders ask for complete jars or drums.
- Accessories — add sandpaper, crucible tongs, dilute hydrochloric acid and litmus paper if you are equipping the full practical.
- Shipping — tell JLab the destination early so the flammable-solid packing and documents can be arranged.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purity of this magnesium ribbon?
The assay is a minimum of 99% magnesium. The ribbon is grey metal, 3.2 mm wide and 0.25 mm thick.
How much ribbon is in one unit?
One unit is a 25 g ribbon. For bulk supply, 40 ribbons of 25 g are packed in one jar and five such jars in an HDPE drum.
Why is magnesium ribbon cleaned before it is burnt?
Its surface carries a dull layer formed by reaction with air. Rubbing it off with sandpaper exposes clean metal, so the ribbon lights more easily and the reaction is seen clearly.
What is the shelf life of magnesium ribbon?
Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. A tightly closed jar kept in a dry place slows tarnishing.
How does it differ from the other Magnesium Ribbon listing?
This ribbon is 3.2 mm wide and 0.25 mm thick and is sold in 25 g units with a minimum 99% assay. The other listing is 4 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick and gives physical data instead of a pack weight.
What should an export enquiry include?
The quantity, the destination country and port or city, your preferred delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, any packing or labelling requirements, and the tender reference if one applies.
Who manufactures this magnesium ribbon?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, supplies it from its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of school and college laboratory equipment and practical consumables in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. Magnesium ribbon is packed and dispatched from JLab’s own works rather than through a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it factory-direct with the rest of their chemistry practical stock; ribbons are visually inspected before dispatch, and repeat orders come from the same works. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Ukraine in Eastern Europe, Congo in Central Africa, South Korea in East Asia, the Dominican Republic in Central America and the Caribbean and Indonesia in Southeast Asia. Tender information is on the JLab lab tenders page.
For the Magnesium Practical
- Abrasive Stripe (Sand Paper) — fine abrasive paper for cleaning the ribbon before burning.
- Crucible Tongs — stainless steel tongs with corrugated jaws for holding the burning ribbon.
- Hydrochloric Acid Dilute — analytical reagent grade dilute acid for the hydrogen test.
- China Dish — a porcelain dish for collecting the magnesium oxide ash.
- Litmus Paper — red and blue litmus for showing that the oxide is basic.
