Because ammonia can be released easily.
Ammonium carbonate when heated decomposes into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Ammonia is the gas that gives smelling salts and household cleaners their characteristic odor. It has a strong, pungent smell that is easily recognizable.
Ammonium salts are made for various purposes such as use in fertilizers to provide essential nutrients to plants, as reagents in chemical reactions, in pharmaceuticals, and in the food industry as a preservative or leavening agent.
Salts contain a cation (metal or ammonium) and an anion derived from an acid.
NH4(3)PO4, which is ammonium phosphate, is soluble in water. Ammonium salts are soluble.
The pungent smell of ammonia in an aqueous solution is due to the release of ammonia gas (NH3) when the solution is exposed to the air. Ammonia gas has a strong, irritating odor that gives it its pungent smell.
Yes that smell like that. Because of it makes NH3 gas.
I handled some today and it is a very strong smell that can hit pretty hard if you smell it from a close distance
Ammonium carbonate when heated decomposes into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water vapor.
Ammonium salts are the products of the reactions between ammonium hydroxide and acids.
A pungent smell is a strong, sharp, and often unpleasant odor that is easily noticed due to its intensity and ability to overpower other scents. Examples of pungent smells include those of onions, garlic, ammonia, and certain types of cheese.
A distinct pungent odor that lingers and penetrates nearly everything. Will smell somewhat of traditional ammonia with a slight burning plastic smell
Metals and ammonium form generally salts.
Ammonia has a strong, pungent odor because it is very soluble in water. When ammonia gas comes in contact with moisture in the air or in our noses, it forms ammonium ions, which activate our olfactory receptors and produce the characteristic smell.
Scientists can smell pungent
My feet can smell pungent. Never eat rotten bananas because they are pungent.
If there is a pungent odour, there's a horrible smell.=)
