Ammonium Chloride: Product Information

Ammonium chloride is a white solid crystalline powder with the chemical formula NH4Cl. It has a melting point of 338°C and decomposes upon heating to produce ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas. Ammonium chloride is readily soluble in water and is suitable for many biochemistry and biotechnology applications. It has a mildly acidic pH when dissolved in water and can be used as an electrolyte or acidifying agent.

Technical information
●Chemical reactions
Ammonium chloride (salt ammoniac: natural mineralogic form) is an inorganic compound , that is highly soluble in
water. Solutions of ammonium chloride are mildly acidic.

Ammonium chloride decompose upon heating into ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas:
NH4Cl → NH3 + HCl
It reacts with a strong base, e.g. sodium hydroxide, and similarly, with alkali metal carbonates at elevated temperatures:
NH4Cl + NaOH → NH3 + NaCl + H2O
2 NH4Cl + Na2CO3 → 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O + 2 NH3
A 5% by weight solution of ammonium chloride in water has a pH in the range 4.6 to 6.0.[5]
Ammonium chloride solutions with ammonia are used as buffer solutions. It can be used as acidifying agent , and as an
electrolyte. It also produce low temperatures in cooling baths.
