Uses
Primary
- Precursor to ammonium chloride, the precursor to all other chlorides
Secondary
- Pharm: Smelling salts
Natural occurrence
- Does occcur naturally
Hazards
Character
Production
Extraction
- Extracted from Spirit of hartshorn, which also contains ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbamate
Testing
Purification
Storage
- Decomposes at OTP
- (NH4)2CO3 → NH4HCO3 + NH3 // step 1
- NH4HCO3 → NH3 + CO2 + H2O // step 2
Disposal
- Can be released into the environment
