Description
Shiny, hard, white, prism-shaped crystal. Ammonium bicarbonate is used in baking powder and fire-extinguishers. It is also used for degreasing textiles, for chrome leather tanning and as an additive in ceramics. Hartshorn, or Ammonium carbonate, is a double salt of Ammonium carbamate and ammonium bicarbonate.
Synonyms and Related Terms
ammonium acid carbonate; ammonium hydrogen carbonate; hartshorn; powdered baking ammonia; hjortetakssalt (Dan.); Ammoniumhydrogencarbonat (Deut.); ABC-Trieb (Deut.); bicarbonate d'ammonium (Fr.);
Risks
