Sodalime with indicator 500gm

Original price was: KSh1,500.00.Current price is: KSh1,200.00.
Sodalime with an indicator is a substance often used in medical and laboratory settings, primarily for the absorption of carbon dioxide (COā‚‚) and certain other acidic gases. The indicator in sodalime serves a crucial function by visually signaling when the sodalime has been exhausted and can no longer effectively absorb COā‚‚. Here’s a detailed look at its components, functionality, and use:

Components of Sodalime

  1. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and Potassium Hydroxide (KOH): These strong bases are the active components that react with COā‚‚ to form carbonates and water.
  2. Calcium Hydroxide (Ca(OH)ā‚‚): This provides a medium in which the reaction takes place and also participates in the COā‚‚ absorption process.
  3. Water (Hā‚‚O): Necessary for the chemical reaction.
  4. Indicator Dye: Changes color based on the pH level, signaling when the sodalime is no longer effective.

Chemical Reaction

The primary reaction for COā‚‚ absorption can be summarized as: CO2+H2O→H2CO3text{CO}_2 + text{H}_2text{O} rightarrow text{H}_2text{CO}_3CO2​+H2O→H2CO3​ H2CO3+2NaOH→Na2CO3+2H2Otext{H}_2text{CO}_3 + 2text{NaOH} rightarrow text{Na}_2text{CO}_3 + 2text{H}_2text{O}H2CO3​+2NaOH→Na2​CO3​+2H2​O Secondary reactions may involve calcium hydroxide: Na2CO3+Ca(OH)2→2NaOH+CaCO3text{Na}_2text{CO}_3 + text{Ca(OH)}_2 rightarrow 2text{NaOH} + text{CaCO}_3Na2​CO3​+Ca(OH)2​→2NaOH+CaCO3​

Sodium Metal 100gm

Original price was: KSh3,000.00.Current price is: KSh2,500.00.
Chemical Formula: Na Appearance: Sodium metal is a soft, silvery-white, highly reactive metal. It is shiny when freshly cut but tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation. Physical Properties:
  • Atomic Number: 11
  • Density: 0.97 g/cm³ at 20°C
  • Melting Point: 97.79°C (207.02°F)
  • Boiling Point: 883°C (1621°F)
  • Hardness: Sodium is soft enough to be cut with a knife.
Chemical Properties:
  • Reactivity: Sodium is highly reactive, especially with water, producing sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. This reaction is exothermic and can be explosive. 2Na+2H2O→2NaOH+H22Na + 2H_2O → 2NaOH + H_22Na+2H2​O→2NaOH+H2​
  • Oxidation: In air, sodium rapidly oxidizes, forming a layer of sodium oxide (Na_2O).
Storage: Due to its reactivity, sodium metal is stored under oil or in an inert atmosphere, such as argon, to prevent reactions with moisture and oxygen in the air.
