Ammonium Carbonate Powder, Colour : White

Ammonium carbonate ((NH4)2CO3) is a white, powdery substance with a strong odor of ammonia. It is soluble in water and decomposes readily when exposed to air, releasing ammonia gas. Ammonium carbonate is primarily used in various applications, including baking as a leavening agent, where it produces carbon dioxide gas to help dough rise. In the food industry, it also functions as an acidity regulator and stabilizer. Furthermore, it finds use in the manufacturing of ceramics and as a source of ammonia in chemical reactions. However, due to its instability and tendency to decompose into ammonia and carbon dioxide, handling of ammonium carbonate requires careful storage and transportation under controlled conditions. Safety protocols, including proper ventilation and personal protective equipment, are essential to minimize exposure risks and ensure safe handling in industrial and laboratory settings.
