FAQ

What are the physical and chemical properties of Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0)?

Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0) is a white, crystalline solid. It has a molecular weight of approximately 138.10 g/mol and a solubility of around 92 g/100 mL in water at 20°C. It is slightly basic and reacts with acids to form salts. Ammonium citrate is stable under normal conditions but should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation.

How is Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0) typically synthesized?

Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0) is synthesized by the neutralization of citric acid with ammonium hydroxide. Common methods include the addition of ammonium hydroxide to citric acid in a ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.5. The reaction is exothermic and requires careful temperature control. The process yields a high purity product with good selectivity and yield.

What industries use Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0)?

Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0) is widely used in the food industry as a leavening agent and flavor enhancer. It is also utilized in the pharmaceutical industry as a buffer and in the textile industry as a softening agent. Additionally, it has applications in cosmetics and as a fertilizer in agriculture.

What precautions should be taken when handling Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0)?

When handling Ammonium Citrate (CAS: 7632-50-0), appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves, goggles, and a lab coat should be worn. Work should be conducted in a well-ventilated area or a fume hood to prevent inhalation of dust. In case of spill, it should be cleaned up immediately using appropriate methods. Always refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling and emergency procedures.
