Ammonium chloride 99.99% trace metals basis - 25G - 326372-25G

NH₄Cl is highly corrosive, colorless salt which dissolves readily in water. It crystallizes out of aqueous solution in octahedrons, in a feathery array, forming a fibrous mass of crystals. It sublimes at 340^oC.[1][2] Ammonium chloride acts as catalyst in one-pot,Biginelli condensation reactions of aldehydes, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds and urea or thiourea.[3] Inorganic ammonium ions, NH₄⁺, have been reported as efficient catalysts for the aldol condensation of carbonyl compounds.[4]NH₄Cl has been reportedly used to enhance the hydrolysis rate and decrease the activation energy of magnesium hydride during hydrogen generation.[5]
