Ammonium Iodide 99.9+% ACS, Ultra Pure 2.5 Kilogram

Ammonium iodide is an inorganic connection that consists of ammonium ions (NH4+) and iodide ions (i-). It is often used in various applications, ranging from pharmaceutical products to photography and laboratory tests. One of the most important applications of ammonium iodide is in the pharmaceutical industry. It is used as a source of iodide ions, which are essential for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. These hormones are crucial for the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and the regulation of metabolism in the body. Ammonium iodide can also be used as an expectorans, which means that it can help to loosen and cough up mucus in disorders such as bronchitis. In addition, ammonium iodide is used in photography. It is added to developers to increase the sensitivity of photographic emulsions to light. This helps to obtain sharper and better exposed photos. In laboratory tests, ammonium iodide is often used as a source of iodide ions for various chemical reactions. For example, it can be used in the synthesis of organic compounds, such as alkyljodides. Ammonium iodide can also be used as a reagent to detect the presence of heavy metals, such as lead and mercury. Although ammonium iodide is useful in various applications, it is important to take the necessary safety measures when handling them. It is a corrosive substance and can cause irritation when contact with skin, eyes and airways. It is therefore essential to wear protective clothing, such as gloves and safety glasses, when working with ammonium iodide. In addition, ammonium iodide must be stored in a cool, dry place, away from flammable substances and direct sunlight. It may not be mixed with other chemicals, unless this is specifically indicated in the protocol or instructions. When handling ammonium iodide, it is also important to guarantee good ventilation to minimize the exposure to fumes. In case of spilling or exposure to ammonium iodide, the affected area must immediately be flushed with a lot of water. In the event of swallowing, medical assistance must be requested and the victim should not generate vomiting unless this is advised by a medical professional. In short, ammonium iodide is a versatile connection that is used in various industries and laboratory tests. It is important to take the correct safety measures when handling them to prevent possible damage to health.
