About Ammonium Hydroxide 28-30% Solution, ACS Grade
Ammonium Hydroxide, NH
4OH, is formed when ammonia (NH
3) is dissolved in water. Ammonia deprotonates a small portion of water molecules leaving the free hydroxide ion, [OH]-, to form a slightly basic solution. The resulting solution is clear, colorless, with a pungent odor and vapors that may irritate the eyes.
Ammonium Hydroxide is a weak base mainly used to prepare other ammonium compounds like urea, ammonium carbonate and ammonium sulfate.
Lab Alley’s high-quality Ammonium Hydroxide, ACS Reagent Grade, 28-30% has been certified as anÂ
ACS Grade reagent by the American Chemical Society (ACS). The reagent grade is generally equivalent to the ACS grade and is acceptable for use in analytical applications and research laboratories.
