Ammonium carbonate

Ammonium carbonate

1. (NH₄)₂CO₃ The normal ammonium salt of carbonic acid, prepared by passing gaseous carbon dioxide into an aqueous solution of ammonia and allowing the vapours (ammonia, carbon dioxide, water) to crystallize. 2. NH₄HCO₃_NH₂COONH₄ A white, crystalline double salt of ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium carbamate obtained commercially; the principal ingredient of smelling salts.
