What is Ammonium Sulfate?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ammonium Sulfate is an inorganic salt with a chemical formula (NH4<\/sub>)2<\/sub>SO4<\/sub><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ammonium Sulfate is non-hazardous to human. It is also known as\u00a0Diammonium sulfate or Sulphuric acid diammonium salt<\/em><\/strong>. It has no smell and dissolves in water easily. It does not dissolve in acetone. It appears as a crystalline solid white and has a salty taste. It is widely used as a fertilizer for soil which contains 21% nitrogen and 24% sulphur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preparation of Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  • Ammonium sulfate occurs naturally from the mineral mascagnite in volcanic fumaroles and due to coal fires on some dumps.<\/li>
  • Ammonium sulfate is formed by adding finely divided gypsum to an ammonium carbonate solution.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Chemical Properties of Ammonium Sulfate (NH4)2SO4<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      • Ammonium sulfate decomposes upon heating above 250 \u00b0C, forming ammonium bisulfate. heating at higher temperatures results in decomposition into ammonia, nitrogen, sulfur dioxide, and water.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
