What difference between ammonia and ammonium?

Ammonia is a compound with the formula NH3, it is a weak base. Ammonium is a polyatomic ion with the formula NH4+. The ammonium ion is formed when ammonia reacts with an acid and is itself mildly acidic. because it is positively charged is is not found on its own but accompanied by a negative ion such as in ammonium nitrate, NH4NO3.

What is the difference between ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate?

Ammonium nitrate is NH4NO3 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with nitric acid (HNO3). Ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4 and is formed by reacting ammonia (NH3) with sulfuric acid (H2SO4)


What is the difference between ammonium nitrate and ammonium chloride?

Ammonium nitrate is a chemical compound composed of ammonium and nitrate ions, commonly used as a fertilizer and in explosives. Ammonium chloride is also a chemical compound composed of ammonium and chloride ions, used in various industrial applications and as a food additive. The key difference lies in the anion present: nitrate in ammonium nitrate and chloride in ammonium chloride.


Is acetone used in the process of making ammonium nitrate?

No, it is not used, the industrial preparation of Ammonium Nitrate depends on simple neutralization reaction between ammonia (Base) and Nitric (Acid) giving Ammonium Nitrate. Even the process of prilling or granulation doesn't include addition of Acetone. I believe the Ammonium Nitrate Acetone mixture is hazard as it is a combination of strong oxidizer and highly inflammable substance. Regards;


What is the difference between solubility of sodium nitrate and ammonia?

Is ammonium nitrate mined?

Ammonium nitrate is not mined directly as a mineral but is produced synthetically through a chemical reaction between ammonia and nitric acid. It is a common fertilizer and also used in explosives and as a component in certain industrial processes.


Is Ammonium Nitrate a salt?

Yes, ammonium nitrate is a salt compound formed from the reaction between ammonia and nitric acid. It is commonly used as a fertilizer and an explosive due to its high nitrogen content.


Is there a difference between ammonium nitrate as fertilizer and ammonium nitrate the explosive?

It's the same ammonium nitrate--you add some kind of fuel oil--diesel, heating fuel, jet fuel, whatever you have--to make fertilizer into explosives.


Is ammonium nitrate covalent or ionic bond?

Ammonium nitrate has an ionic bond. Ammonium has an overall charge of 1+, making it a positive cation. Nitrate has an overall charge of 1-, making it a negative anion. When bonded together, nitrate gives ammonia an electron, resulting in an ionic bond being formed between them.
