Ammonia solution
Ammonia solutions, often referred to as aqueous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide, are clear, colorless liquids consisting of ammonia gas dissolved in water. The concentration of ammonia in these solutions typically ranges from 5% to 35% by weight. Ammonia solutions possess a pungent odor characteristic of ammonia gas and are alkaline with a pH typically between 11 and 12.5. This solution is widely used across various industries due to its excellent cleaning properties, reactivity, and role as a nitrogen source.
Ammonium Acetate
Ammonium acetate is a white crystalline solid or granular powder that is highly soluble in water. It is the ammonium salt of acetic acid and commonly appears as a colorless, odorless compound. Ammonium acetate is widely used in laboratories, chemical synthesis, food industry, pharmaceuticals, and industrial applications due to its buffering capacity and ability to provide both ammonium and acetate ions in solution. It functions as a neutral salt and is valued for its role as a pH buffer, reagent, and stabilizer.
Deionized Water
Deionized Water (DI Water), also known as demineralized water, is highly purified water that has had almost all of its mineral ions (such as sodium, calcium, iron, copper, chloride, and sulfate) removed through ion exchange, reverse osmosis, or other purification methods. It is a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with extremely low electrical conductivity and is considered chemically pure. Deionized water is used in applications where water purity is critical, including pharmaceuticals, electronics, cosmetics, laboratory use, and various industrial processes. Its lack of minerals makes it highly reactive with contaminants, which makes it both useful and sensitive in technical applications.
