Will my 100g of 99.99% pure gallium metal arrive as a solid or liquid, and how do I handle it?

Your 100g of 99.99% pure gallium metal will arrive as a solid. Gallium has a very low melting point, around 29.76°C (85.57°F), which is just above room temperature. This means it can melt from the warmth of your hand or in a warm environment. We recommend storing it in a cool place, typically below 25°C (77°F), to keep it solid. When you receive it, it will likely be in a solid form. If it melts, it's easy to re-solidify by placing it in a refrigerator (do NOT freeze it solid), and it will return to its solid state for handling.

Is this 99.99% pure gallium safe for kids and educational experiments?

This 99.99% pure gallium metal is fascinating for educational purposes due to its unique properties, like its low melting point. However, it should always be used under adult supervision. Gallium is generally non-toxic, but it should not be ingested. It's also crucial to avoid contact with aluminum, as gallium alloys with it readily. We recommend using gloves when handling it, especially for younger students, to maintain purity and for general safety. It's a great tool for demonstrating concepts in chemistry and physics.

What are some cool things I can do with 100g of pure gallium, and why the syringe?

With 100g of 99.99% pure gallium, you can explore its incredible low melting point by melting it in hot water and then watching it re-solidify as it cools. It can also be used for creating unique sculptures or as a component in science projects demonstrating material properties. The included syringe is designed for precise pouring and filling of molds or small cavities while the gallium is in its liquid state, making it easier to work with and minimizing waste. It’s perfect for detailed applications or when you want to carefully control your pour.

How much gallium is 100g, and is it worth the price for its purity?

100 grams of 99.99% pure gallium is a substantial amount, providing enough material for multiple experiments or projects. The high purity level (99.99%) is crucial for many scientific applications and ensures predictable behavior and reliable results, especially concerning its melting point and reactivity. While gallium is a precious metal, the 100g quantity offers excellent value for educators, hobbyists, and researchers looking to experience its unique properties without needing industrial quantities. This purity level typically commands a higher price due to the meticulous refining process involved.

Description

Experience the science of metallurgy with our premium 99.99% pure gallium metal. This fascinating element offers a unique hands-on learning experience today.

Gallium is a soft, silvery metal known for its rare properties. It features a remarkably low melting point of approximately 29.7°C or 85.5°F for all users.

Because of this low melting threshold, the gallium metal can actually melt in the palm of your hand. It is truly a marvel of the periodic table for everyone.

This 100-gram supply is perfect for hobbyists, educators, and science enthusiasts. It provides enough material for various experiments and displays now.

Density is a key characteristic here. Gallium is about six times heavier than water. This means 17ml of the liquid occupies the full 100-gram mass total.

To ensure easy handling, we include a syringe with every order. This allows you to transfer the liquid metal cleanly between different containers easily.

Your metal may arrive as a solid or liquid. This state depends entirely on the temperatures encountered during the shipping process to your home today.

If it arrives solid, simply immerse the plastic vial in warm water. It will quickly revert to a liquid state for your immediate use and enjoyment now.

Our 99.99% pure gallium metal is a high-quality product. It ensures that your experiments with liquid metals are consistent and truly successful here.
