What happens when you touch ammonium nitrate?

When touching solid ammonium nitrate, it is generally safe as it is a stable compound. However, if it is in a moist environment or mixed with certain substances, it can become reactive and potentially explosive, so caution should be exercised. In the case of contact with a solution of ammonium nitrate, it can cause irritation, burns, or even chemical burns, so it is important to wash the affected area thoroughly with water.


What is the precipitate formed from ammonium carbonate and calcium nitrate?

The precipitate formed will be calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This is because when ammonium carbonate reacts with calcium nitrate, the insoluble calcium carbonate is formed as a white precipitate, while ammonium nitrate remains in solution.


What type of mixture is silver nitrate in water?

silver nitrate dissolves in water. so it should form a homogeneous solution


Why is ammonium nitrate a compound?

Acid is a category of compounds. An acid is any substance that releases hydrogen ions (H+) in water. There are many different acids. Always remember one thing is that the compound is fixed proportin and composition .ok. All acids are formed with specific ratio .i,e HCl ,H2SO4, HNO3. etc...


Why is the aqueous solutioni of sodium nitrate a mixture not a solution?

It is a solution. A solution is a type of mixture in which a solute is dissolved in a solvent. A solution is a homogeneous mixture. In the case of an aqueous solution of sodium nitrate, the sodium nitrate is the solute and the water is the solvent.

When water and ammonium nitrate mixed the temperature decreases. what type of reaction is this and why?

This is an example of an endothermic reaction. In an endothermic reaction, heat is absorbed from the surroundings, causing a decrease in temperature. In this case, the dissolution of ammonium nitrate in water requires energy input to break the bonds between the particles, resulting in a decrease in temperature.


How do you know how many ammoniums will combine with how many nitrate ions?

Ammonium ions have a 1+ charge, and nitrate ions have a 1- charge. One ammonium ion combined with one nitrate ion will produce an ionic compound with no overall charge. NH4+ + NO3- ---> NH4NO3


What is the correct formula of ammonium nitrate?

NH4NO3. All of the letters in this formula should be capitals, but something in the WikiAnswers program sometimes changes some or all of them to lower case!

What happen when sodium chloride and ammonium nitrate are mixed?

Any chemical reaction occur.


What is the order of reaction in ammonium nitrate production from ammonia and nitric acid?

When ammonia dissolves in water it forms ammonium hydroxide by the reaction NH3 + H2O -> NH4OH Ammonium Hydroxide is a base which reacts with acids, in the case nitric, by the reaction NH4OH + HNO3 -> NH4NO3 + H2O

What is the material used in dynamite?

It is made out of explosive materials and compounds. Such as potassium nitrate and ammonium nitrate which are explosive and used to make bombs. It first have a hard case filled with sawdust or a hard material that absorbs energy. That material is soaked with nitroglycerin which is an explosive chemical. Then a charger or cap covers it attached to a plug or fuse that detonates it. But getting nitroglycerin is sometimes dangerous so people mostly use potassium nitrate of ammonium nitrate for making dynamite.

Could NH4 be a gas?

NH4 is an ion. It does not exist under normal conditions. It may exist in combined state as Ammonium Chloride NH4Cl (which is a sublimates and exists only in solid and gaseous state), Ammonium Nitrate NH4NO3, Ammonium Sulphate (NH4)2SO4 which may exist in gaseous state at high temperatures. In case you are talking about Ammonia which is NH3, then yes,it is a gas under normal conditions but becomes a liquid on bubbling through water. (Ammonia solution of varying concentrations), much like Hydrogen Chloride, which on bubbling through water, forms, Hydrochloric acid in varying concentrations.


Does fertiliser burn?

A lot of fertilizer contains ammonium nitrate (NH4-NO3) which will detonate if it is pure enough and started with a blasting cap. If simply placed on a fire it may or may not burn depending on the purity of ammonium nitrate. If diesel fuel is added to ammonium nitrate fertilizer it is called a Fuel-Oxidizer fire, or fuel oxidizer bomb as the case may be.


What does Nitric acid plus calcium hydroxide yield?

An acid reacting with a hydroxide will result in the formation of water and the corresponding salt of the hydroxide's cation and the acid's anion. So in this case the products are water and calcium nitrate.
