Ammonium Chloride Extra Pure is a high-purity, white crystalline salt widely used in laboratory chemistry as a source of ammonium ions and chloride ions for analytical, inorganic, and biochemical applications. It plays a key role in preparing buffer solutions, especially in conjunction with ammonia, and is commonly used in qualitative analysis, electrochemical studies, and metal treatment experiments. In addition, it serves as a reagent in synthesis reactions and as a nitrogen source in microbial culture media. The extra pure grade ensures high consistency and minimal contaminants, making it suitable for precise and sensitive laboratory work. It should be stored in a cool, dry place in well-sealed containers to maintain stability and prevent moisture absorption.

Description

Ammonium Chloride Extra Pure

Primary Uses

  1. Reagent in Qualitative Inorganic Analysis
    • Used to suppress the ionization of weak bases (e.g., NH₄OH) and control precipitation in cation group analysis.
  2. Buffer Component (Ammonium Buffer Systems)
    • Combined with ammonia to maintain mildly acidic pH in biochemical and analytical buffer solutions.
  3. Reagent in Metallurgical Experiments
    • Acts as a flux in lab-scale metal cleaning and preparation, especially for tin, zinc, or soldering studies.
  4. Source of Ammonium Ions in Synthesis
    • Supplies NH₄⁺ in preparing other ammonium salts, complex metal compounds, or during redox reactions.
  5. Educational Demonstrations in Sublimation and Thermal Reactions
    • Shows reversible sublimation when heated, ideal for teaching volatility and equilibrium concepts.

Secondary Uses

  1. Electrolyte in Conductivity and Galvanic Cell Experiments
    • Serves as a chloride-based ionic conductor in salt bridges or simple electrochemical setups.
  2. Nitrogen Source in Microbial Growth Media
    • Occasionally used as a nitrogen supplement in lab-prepared culture media for microbial studies.
  3. Reagent in Le Chatelier’s Principle Demonstrations
    • Shows shifts in chemical equilibrium when heated (e.g., NH₄Cl ⇌ NH₃ + HCl gas), useful in teaching gas-phase equilibrium.
  4. Corrosion Testing & Surface Reaction Studies
    • Used to simulate chloride-induced corrosion in environmental or material science labs.
  5. Controlled pH Experiments in Soil and Water Chemistry
    • Applied in modeling ion exchange, soil acidification, or pollutant transport studies.

SAFETY HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

  1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):
    • Wear a lab coat, safety goggles, and chemical-resistant gloves (e.g., nitrile or neoprene).
    • Use a dust mask or fume hood to avoid inhalation of fine particles or vapors.
  2. Handling:
    • Handle with care in a well-ventilated area.
    • Avoid inhalation, ingestion, and contact with eyes and skin.
    • Prevent dust formation; do not mix with strong acids or alkalis.
  3. Storage:
    • Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
    • Protect from moisture—ammonium chloride is hygroscopic and may cake.
    • Keep away from strong oxidizers and acids.
  4. Hygiene Measures:
    • Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
    • Do not eat, drink, or smoke while working in the lab.
    • Clean up spills promptly and avoid dust dispersal.

FIRST AID MEASURES 

  1. Inhalation:
    • Move person to fresh air.
    • Provide oxygen if breathing is difficult.
    • Seek medical attention if coughing or respiratory irritation occurs.
  2. Skin Contact:
    • Wash affected area with plenty of water and soap.
    • Remove contaminated clothing.
    • Seek medical attention if irritation or burns develop.
  3. Eye Contact:
    • Rinse thoroughly with clean water for at least 15 minutes.
    • Remove contact lenses if present and easy to do.
    • Seek immediate medical attention for persistent pain or irritation.
  4. Ingestion:
    • Rinse mouth with water.
    • Do not induce vomiting.
    • If the person is fully conscious, give water to dilute.
    • Seek immediate medical attention—may irritate the gastrointestinal tract.

FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

  1. Suitable Extinguishing Media:
    • Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide (CO₂) depending on surrounding materials.

    • Non-flammable, but decomposes at high temperatures to release toxic fumes including:
      • Hydrogen chloride (HCl)
      • Ammonia (NH₃)
    • These gases can be irritating or harmful if inhaled.
  3. Protective Equipment for Firefighters:
    • Wear full protective gear and a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA).
  4. Firefighting Instructions:
    • Cool exposed containers with water spray.
    • Evacuate area and ventilate after extinguishing fire.
