ammonium azide

chemical substances
Ammonium azide is also called Ammonium azide yes Azide acid Of ammonium salt , the molecular formula is N4H4. With other inorganic Azide compound Similarly, this colorless crystal is explosive, although its sensitivity is low. NH ₄ N ∨ has physiological activity: a small amount of inhalation will cause headache and palpitations. It was first established by Theodor Curtius in 1890 Azide Made together.

Basic properties

Announce
edit
Ammonium azide, a colorless lamellar crystal, is one of the safe azides. It does not explode in the atmosphere, but can explode violently under closed heating. The reaction formula is:
N4H4----- ----->2N two ↑+2H two

Production method

Announce
edit
from Sodium azide Ammonium sulfate Dimethylformamide , i.e. HCON (CH three ) two In the presence of the following reaction, it is generated by stirring and heating:
ammonium azide
2NaN three +(NH four ) two SO four ----- HCON(CH3)2,△ ----->Na two SO four +2NH four N three
The organic solution of ammonia (such as methanol and ether) can also be used Hydrogen azide Preparation, ammonium azide precipitation:
Ammonium azide production unit
NH3+HN3→NH4N3
Double decomposition reaction of some acids and salts: HN3+NH5CO3=N4H4+H2O+CO2 ↑
