Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals CP 5kg

Ammonium Chloride Fine Crystals CP is primarily used as a chemical reagent in various reactions, including: creating buffer solutions, quenching reaction mixtures in organic synthesis, producing low temperatures in cooling baths, and as a contrast agent in paleontology and archaeology for enhancing photographic documentation of fossils by depositing a white crystalline layer on them; it can also be used to prepare specific media for biological studies depending on the application.
Key points about Ammonium Chloride in a lab:
Buffer solutions:
Ammonium chloride solutions mixed with ammonia can create buffer solutions with a specific pH range, useful for maintaining stable pH conditions in experiments.
Cooling baths:
Due to its endothermic nature, dissolving ammonium chloride in water can significantly lower the temperature, making it suitable for creating low-temperature baths in certain laboratory procedures.
Organic synthesis:
Saturated ammonium chloride solutions are often used to quench chemical reactions by neutralizing excess reactants.
Paleontology and archaeology:
Ammonium chloride vapor can be deposited on fossils to create a white contrasting layer that enhances visibility in photographs.
Chemical analysis:
Ammonium chloride can be used as a component in various analytical procedures depending on the specific application
