Description
Potassium iodide
- Radiation Protection: Potassium iodide is known for its ability to protect the thyroid gland from radioactive iodine, particularly in the event of a nuclear accident or emergency. It saturates the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine, preventing uptake of radioactive iodine-131.
- Nutritional Supplement: Iodine is essential for thyroid function and overall health. Potassium iodide supplements can be used to prevent iodine deficiency, which can lead to thyroid disorders like goiter and hypothyroidism.
- Chemical Reagent: Potassium iodide is also used in various chemical reactions and laboratory procedures, including as a source of iodide ions in solutions.
- Photography: It has historical use in photography, particularly in the production of daguerreotypes.
- Medical Applications: In medicine, it can be used in certain treatments, such as in the management of some types of hyperthyroidism.

Aluminum Ammonium Sulphate
Aluminum ammonium sulfate, also known as ammonium alum or just alum, is a chemical compound with the formula (NH4)Al(SO4)2·12H2O. It's a white crystalline solid commonly used in water purification, leather tanning, and as a mordant in dyeing textiles.
In water purification, alum acts as a coagulant to remove impurities by causing suspended particles to clump together, making it easier for filtration to remove them. In leather tanning, it helps to stabilize the leather by tightening the collagen fibers. And in dyeing textiles, alum helps the dye adhere to the fabric.
However, it's important to note that excessive exposure to aluminum compounds like alum can be harmful, so it's typically used with caution and proper safety measures.
Aluminum Carbonate 250g
Aluminum carbonate is a chemical compound with the formula Al2(CO3)3. It is a white, crystalline solid that is insoluble in water. Aluminum carbonate is not commonly encountered in pure form due to its high instability, especially in the presence of water and carbon dioxide. Instead, it tends to decompose into aluminum hydroxide and carbon dioxide when exposed to moisture or acidic conditions.

Ammonia Solution 2.5litres
An ammonia solution is a solution of ammonia (NH3) gas dissolved in water. It is a clear, colorless liquid with a pungent odor and a basic pH. The concentration of ammonia in the solution can vary, and is typically expressed in terms of percent by weight or by volume.
Ammonia solutions are commonly used in a variety of applications, including cleaning agents, fertilizers, and as a precursor to other chemicals. They are also used in industrial processes such as refrigeration, gas purification, and water treatment. Ammonia solutions can be dangerous if not handled properly, as they are highly corrosive and can release toxic fumes if mixed with certain chemicals
