Ammonium sulphate is an inorganic salt. When we add to latex, it will dissociate to ammonium ions. By itself, ammonium ion will increase ionic strength in latex. It makes latex destabilise easily. However, if there are zinc oxide and ammonia in the system, then there will be another action of zinc ammine complexes happen. This action will destabilize latex more easily. In this destabilised action, the latex will gel or "dry" faster. This is the normal system for making latex products like mask or latex carpet underlay.

See the Web Links to the left for more information.

From PatentStorm.us:

Since the severe allergic reactions to latex are due to their naturally occurring proteins, the prior art offers little in the way of solutions. For example, "hypoallergenic" latex products are free from the vulcanization accelerator compounds that can cause dermatitis, but do not prevent immediate hypersensitivity reactions. Likewise, ammonia treatment of the natural rubber latex proteins can cause breakdown and precipitation of some latex proteins, but the allergenicity appears to be preserved and other antigenic latex proteins are unextractable. In short, the literature recommends that the only treatment available for latex allergy is avoidance.

Why does mixing zinc powder ammonium chloride ammonium nitrate and spit create fire?

Ammonium Nitrate acts as an oxidizer to the reaction. Ammonium Chloride merely provides Cl- as a catalyst to the reaction. The water in the spit begins to decompose the Ammonium Nitrate, which produces Nitrous Oxide and water vapor. The water vapor decomposes more Ammonium Nitrate, creating an autocatalyitic effect. The heat provided from the decomposition ignites the zinc, creating more heat, which decomposes the Ammonium Nitrate at a faster rate, producing more gas more rapidly. The overall formula is: Zn(s) + NH4NO3(s) → N2(g) + ZnO(s) + 2 H2O(g) *Note* Sodium Chloride may also be used in place of Ammonium Chloride.


Can you add sulfur to soil to make it more acidic?

Sulfur will lower pH levels in soil but this is not a quick process. Mixing sulfur in your topsoil will reduce its pH over a period of months. For faster results, use ammonium sulfate or iron sulfate. Don't amend the soil until you have measured it's pH.


What gas diffuses more quickly hydrochloric acid or ammonium hydroxide?

Two gasses at the same temperature have the same average amount of kinetic energy per molecule. An ammonia (NH3) molecule has less mass than hydrochloric acid (hydrogen chloride, HCl) molecule. Since the NH3 has the same amount of kinetic energy as the more massive HCl, ammonia molecules will move faster and thus diffuse faster. Kinetic energy ~ 1/2*m*v2

Why a ice pack is shaken after the inner bag has burst?

to enable the particles of the ammonium nitrate inside it dissolve faster or react faster


What kind of explosive was greater and faster than ammonium nitrate?

Ammonium nitrate is one of the slowest explosives in existence. Dynamites, PETN, TNT, HMX and RDX are more powerful (pound for pound) and have a higher rate of detonation.

Can a cold pack with ammonium nitrate explode?

In some conditions, yes; ammonium nitrate is an explosive material very unpredictable. More fully, Ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) is flammable, but it is primarily an oxidizer, giving oxygen to other burning things to allow them to burn faster, or even explode (like the Oklahoma City car bomb). It will also spontaneously ignite when mixed with certain metals and organic compounds (zinc, acetic acid). Given that, the ammmonium nitrate in an ice pack is highly purified and well-contained so that I do not worry about them spontaneously exploding, but I wouldn't throw one in a fire, either. In fact (though probably not recommended), I recycle the ammonium nitrate back to dry powder in a zip-lock ready for use with water again.

What is fixer used in photograph made of?

There are two fixers. The old fixer is sodium thiosulfite. The good stuff is ammonium thiosulfite. When this stuff first came out, we all went to it for two reasons--it's packaged as a concentrated liquid, so it's quicker and easier to mix, and it fixes really fast, so you spend less time fixing. Later on we found out ammonium thiosulfate has an even more important benefit: it washes out of the emulsion a lot faster.

Did the white ring form closer to the ammonia or the acid?

the name of the white dense ring formed is AMMONIUM CHLORIDE. NH3+HCL->NH4CL. it forms closer to HCL. because NH3 travels a longer distance than HCL. we know very well that a lighter body moves faster than the heavier one.
