ammooniumnitraati
Ammonium nitrate (chemical formula NH₄NO₃) is a highly soluble ionic salt of ammonia and nitric acid. It is a white crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water and is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture due to its high nitrogen content, which promotes plant growth. Ammonium nitrate provides both nitrate and ammonium ions, making it a balanced nitrogen source for crops.
In addition to its agricultural applications, ammonium nitrate is also used in the manufacturing of explosives,
The compound is produced industrially through the reaction of ammonia (NH₃) and nitric acid (HNO₃). It is
Ammonium nitrate must be handled with care, as it can be hazardous if mishandled. It is classified
Environmental concerns also surround ammonium nitrate, particularly regarding water pollution and soil acidification when overapplied as
