Product Name – AMMONIUM HYDROGEN CARBONATE 98.5% Extra Pure Quantity/Pack Size – 500 g, 1000 g, 5000 g Form – Powder Grade – Extra Pure Application – Lab reagent, analytical applications

Product Overview

Ammonium hydrogen carbonate, also known as ammonium bicarbonate, is a high-purity (98.5%) extra pure grade chemical widely used in laboratory settings. This fine, white crystalline powder is highly soluble in water, making it suitable for various analytical and preparative applications. Its decomposition at moderate temperatures releases ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water, which is useful in specific chemical reactions and synthesis processes. The extra pure grade ensures minimal impurities, providing reliable and consistent results in experiments. It is commonly employed as a buffering agent, a reagent in organic synthesis, and in the preparation of other ammonium compounds. The product is stable under normal storage conditions but should be kept in a cool, dry place to prevent decomposition. Its versatility and purity make it an essential component in many laboratory protocols, ensuring accuracy and reproducibility in research and testing environments.

FAQs

1. What is the shelf life of ammonium hydrogen carbonate?

The shelf life is typically 2-3 years when stored in a cool, dry place in a tightly sealed container. Over time, it may decompose into ammonia and carbon dioxide, especially if exposed to moisture or heat.

2. Is this product compatible with organic solvents?

Ammonium hydrogen carbonate is primarily water-soluble and has limited solubility in most organic solvents. It is best used in aqueous solutions for optimal performance.

3. Are there any alternatives to ammonium hydrogen carbonate for similar applications?

Alternatives include sodium bicarbonate or potassium bicarbonate, depending on the specific application. However, these may have different reactivity and solubility profiles.

4. How should this product be stored to maintain its purity?

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Avoid exposure to moisture, as it can lead to decomposition.
