A rough & ready method involves memorising three numbers â 3, 5 and 8 â and the fact that 1 km in miles is approximately equal to the first of these numbers divided by the second, or alternatively the second divided by the third. That is: 1 km â 3/5 or 5/8 miles.
Ammonium chloride solutions with ammonia are used as buffer solutions. In paleontology, ammonium chloride vapor is deposited on fossils, where the substance forms a brilliant white, easily removed and fairly harmless and inert layer of tiny crystals.
Ammonium chloride is a colourless crystalline substance. It is highly soluble in water, readily forming a slightly acidic solution. It vaporizes without melting at 340 Â°C (644 Â°F) to form equal volumes of ammonia and hydrogen chloride. Ammonium chloride is yielded as a by-product in the ammonia-soda process for making sodium carbonate. It also is produced by reaction of ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride solutions. When mixed with slaked lime (calcium carbonate), ammonia gas is the result.
