Ammonium phosphate dibasic
|Name|: Ammonium
phosphate dibasic
|Synonym|: Ammonium
hydrogen phosphate; diammonium phosphate
|Molecular
Formula|: (NH4)2HPO4
|Molecular
Weight|: 132.06
|Property|: Translucent
monoclinic crystalline or white powder. Density 1.619. Freely soluble
in water, insoluble in alcohol, acetone and ammonia. The aqueous
solution is basic, 1% solution pH 8. Decomposes at 155¡æ. Gradually
loses ammonia to form ammonium phosphate monobasic on exposure to
air. Reacts with ammonia to form triammonium phosphate.
|Use|:
Fireproofing textiles, paper, wood, and vegetable fibers; impregnating
lamp wicks; preventing afterglow in matches; flux for soldering
tin, copper, brass, and zinc; purifying sugar; in yeast cultures;
in dentifrices; in corrosion inhibitors; in fertilizers.
