Ammonium Chloride Description

Ammonium chloride is obtained by the neutralization reaction of ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride or ammonia water and hydrochloric acid.

Ammonium chloride is a fast-acting nitrogen fertilizer made by the direct reaction of synthetic ammonia and hydrochloric acid. It contains 24-25% nitrogen and dissociates into chloride ions and ammonium ions in the soil. The latter are absorbed by crops, and the former combine with hydrogen ions in the soil to form hydrochloric acid. Long-term application of ammonium chloride requires additional application of lime.

Ammonium Chloride is White powdered crystals, specific gravity 1.532(17 °C ) easily absords moisture and used mainly as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture. In addition, there are numerous other niche applications.

    Ammonium Chloride: Guide

    Ammonium chloride, commonly known as NH4Cl, finds versatile applications across various industries. In agriculture, it serves as a nitrogen source in fertilizers, promoting healthy plant growth and enhancing crop yield. In the pharmaceutical sector, it is utilized in cough medicines due to its expectorant properties, aiding in the clearance of mucus from the respiratory tract.
    Moreover, in the manufacturing of dry-cell batteries, it acts as an electrolyte, facilitating the flow of ions between electrodes. Its use extends to the metallurgical industry for fluxing and metal surface treatment processes, ensuring cleaner metal surfaces and improved solderability.
    Ammonium chloride serves as a flux in the production of tin and soldering alloys, enabling efficient soldering by removing oxides from metal surfaces. Furthermore, in laboratory settings, it functions as a reagent for various chemical reactions and as a pH buffer in biochemical experiments.
