Molecular Formula: NH4NO3
CAS Number: 6484-52-2
Molecular Weight: 80.043
Ammonium Nitrate, Granular, Reagent, ACS is a white crystalline solid which is highly soluble in water. It is most commonly used in agriculture as a nitrogen fertilizer. It is a main component in some explosives and also finds use in instant cold packs as hydrating the salt is an endothermic process. As an ACS grade quality reagent, its chemical specifications are the de facto standards for chemicals used in many high-purity applications and typically designate the highest quality chemical available for laboratory use. ScienceLab Reagent ACS grade products meet the toughest regulatory standards for quality and purity.
