Ammonium carbonate [506-87-6]

Ammonium carbonate is an inorganic salt that consists of ammonium ion and carbonate ion. It is a white crystalline solid with a molecular weight of about 166.4 g/mol. Ammonium carbonate is soluble in water, alcohol, acetone, and other organic solvents. It has been used as a buffer solution for pH adjustment and as a source of ammonium ions in analytical chemistry. Ammonium carbonate can be formed by the reaction of sodium carbonate with ammonia gas or liquid ammonia, or the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with ammonia gas or liquid ammonia. The thermal expansion coefficient of ammonium carbonate is higher than those of sodium salts such as sodium chloride and potassium chloride. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements have shown that the reactivity between ammonium carbonate and plasma mass spectrometry is high due to its high values on the electric spectrum graph at low frequencies (1 kHz).
