Ammonia bicarbonate is nothing at all (nor is ammonia carbonate).

Ammonium bicarbonate is a real chemical, and it has formula NH4HCO3 (the combination of ammonium ion (NH4+) and the bicarbonate ion (HCO3-).

Ammonium carbonate is a similar chemical with formula (NH4)2CO3, and is the combination of 2 NH4+ ions with one carbonate ion (CO32-).

What can you substitute for ammonia-bicarbonate?

You can substitute baking powder for ammonia-bicarbonate in a 1:1 ratio. Baking powder is a combination of baking soda, an acid, and a starch. It can provide similar leavening effects in baking recipes.


Do kidneys convert ammonia to bicarbonate ion?

Converting ammonia to bicarbonate ion seems like something an alchemist would do. Kidneys (ours, at least) convert nitrogenous wastes (things like ammonia or compounds with an amine group attached - R-NH2) to urea, which is far less toxic than ammonia.


Is AMMONIA is used in the preparation of washing soda?

Yes, ammonia is used in the Solvay process for making washing soda. Ammonia is reacted with carbon dioxide and water to produce ammonium bicarbonate, which is then further reacted to produce sodium carbonate, also known as washing soda.


Is heating ammonium bicarbonate a physical or chemical change?

Heating is a physical process but thermal decomposition is a chemical process.


Is Baking soda the same as bicarbonate soda?

For the most part yes but just to be sure buy the one that says "bicarbonate" on the box. No, bicarbonate is not the same as baking soda. However, bicarbonate is a compound of sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). The most common salt of the bicarbonate ion is bicarbonate of soda (a.k.a. sodium bicarbonate), marketed as baking soda. Bicarbonate in organic chemistry is an intermediate form in the deprotonation of carbonic acid. it's chemical formula is HCO3. Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical rose in the physiological pH buffering system. Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate or sodium hydrogen carbonate and is the chemical compound with the formula NaHCO3. NaHCO3 is mainly prepared by the Solvay process, which is the reaction of calcium carbonate, sodium chloride, ammonia, and carbon dioxide in water. Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) is an amphoteric compound.

Buy bicarbonate of ammonia for baking?

I make Danish Christmas cookies and need bicarbonat of ammonia for one of the recipies. I have not been able to find in in any grocery store. However, Ammonium Carbonate (Drugstore) and a couple drops of vinegar will function well. Most drugstores also have bicarbonate of ammonia :-)!

How do you make ammonium bicarbonate?

To make ammonium bicarbonate, mix an ammonium compound (such as ammonium sulfate or ammonium chloride) with sodium bicarbonate in water. Filter the solution to remove any impurities, and then evaporate the liquid to obtain solid ammonium bicarbonate.

Preparation of washing soda by the ammonia solvay process?

In the ammonia Solvay process, sodium chloride (common salt) is first reacted with ammonia and carbon dioxide to form sodium bicarbonate. The sodium bicarbonate is then heated to form washing soda (sodium carbonate), releasing water and carbon dioxide as byproducts. Washing soda is then separated and dried for use in various applications.
