How is ammonium chloride formed

An important use of ammonium chloride is as electrolyte in dry cell batteries where it is used because it is an ionic compound. Ammonium chloride is also used in etching in the manufacture of printed circuits, as a fire extinguisher, an explosive in mineral winning and as a curing agent in formaldehyde-based adhesives.

Please call for details. Special packaging is available upon request. Ammonium chloride consists of white crystals that are also available in more or less worked up rods or lumps.

They sublime when heated; the substance changes directly from being solid to gas. The gas does not consist of ammonium chloride molecules but ammonia and hydrogen chloride. This shows that the salt decomposes easily. When stored, ammonia is continuously emitted and the substance gradually becomes more acidic.

Sublimated ammonium chloride can be found in cavities in the earth close to volcanoes. The salt can be manufactured industrially directly from ammonia and hydrochloric acid, but that is often not the most favorable method from an economic point of view.
