Ammonium acetate material safety data table Brief description
Ammonium acetate, also known as ammonium acetate, is a white crystal with an acetic acid odor, and its physical and chemical properties are unique. In terms of physical properties, the melting point is about 114 ° C, and it is easily soluble in water and ethanol. From a chemical point of view, its aqueous solution is neutral, and acetic acid will be decomposed in case of strong acid.

In terms of preparation, it can usually be obtained by the reaction of glacial acetic acid and ammonia. Glacial acetic acid is placed in a container, slowly introduced into ammonia gas, and after a series of operations such as evaporation and crystallization, ammonium acetate crystals are finally obtained.

When used, ammonium acetate is widely used. In the field of organic synthesis, it is often used as a buffer to create a stable pH environment for reactions and help many organic reactions proceed smoothly; in analytical chemistry, it can be used as a precipitant to separate and identify specific ions and improve analytical accuracy.

However, the use of ammonium acetate requires attention to safety issues. Inhalation of its dust may irritate the respiratory tract, causing coughing, asthma, etc.; contact with the skin or eyes will cause skin discomfort and eye tingling. Therefore, take good protection when operating, such as wearing masks, gloves and goggles.

Storage of ammonium acetate is also required. It should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from fire and heat sources, and stored separately from strong acids and alkalis to prevent reactions. If stored improperly, such as damp, it may cause it to agglomerate, affecting the use effect; when heated, it may decompose, reducing product quality.
