Description

Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR 500g

Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as an analytical reagent to detect and quantify the presence of phosphate ions in a solution, typically through a colorimetric reaction where a yellow precipitate forms when phosphate is present; it can also be used to measure other ions like silicate and arsenate in certain applications.
Key points about Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR:
Primary use: Phosphate detection and quantification in aqueous solutions.
Mechanism: When added to a solution containing phosphate ions in acidic conditions, it forms a yellow precipitate, allowing for visual or spectrophotometric analysis.
