Detailed Product Description

Properties: Ammonium Bicarbonate is colorless rhombic or monoclinic crystals or white crystalline powder. The relative density is 1.58 and the melting point is at 107.5.It is easily soluble in the water, readily forming an alkaline solution. ( The density of saturated solution is 11.9g100ml at 0 and 27g/100ml at 30.) The PH value of 0.08% solution is 7.8. It is soluble in glycerin. It decomposes into carbon dioxide and ammonia. Its hygroscopicity is strong and after moisture-absorbing it gives off the irritating smell of ammonia which is not present when the material is dry. It easily effloresces in the air.
