Ammonium Bicarbonate AR 500g

Ammonium Bicarbonate AR 500g

Ammonium Bicarbonate (\(NH_{4}HCO_{3}\)) is a versatile, white crystalline salt.

The AR (Analytical Reagent) grade specifies a high-purity chemical designed for laboratory use, quality control, and scientific research.

Key Applications & UsesLaboratory Reagent: Used in chemical analysis and as a pH buffer.
Because it decomposes completely into volatile gases (\(CO_{2}\), \(H_{2}O\), and \(NH_{3}\)), it is easily removed through freeze-drying or heating.

Baking & Food Production:
Known as baking ammonia or hartshorn. When heated, it acts as a powerful leavening agent for flat, dry, and crisp baked goods (like cookies, biscuits, and crackers).
It creates an airy texture but is unsuitable for thick cakes or moist breads, as it may leave an unpleasant residual ammonia odor.

Pharmaceuticals & Cosmetics: Serves as a raw ingredient in the production of certain cough syrups, expectorants, and dyes.
Industrial Manufacturing: Used in the production of porous plastics and rubber, fire extinguishers, pigments, and ceramics.
Leather & Agriculture: Utilized in chrome leather tanning and as a nitrogen-based fertilizer in some regions
