Granular ammonium chloride

Colorless crystals or white granular powder, it is a strong electrolyte that dissolves in water to dissociate into ammonium ions and chloride ions. When ammonia gas reacts with hydrogen chloride to form ammonium chloride, white fumes are produced. It is odorless.

　　It appears as colorless crystals or white granular powder. As a strong electrolyte, it dissolves in water to dissociate into ammonium ions and chloride ions. When ammonia gas reacts with hydrogen chloride to form ammonium chloride, a white smoke is produced. It is odorless, with a salty, cool, and slightly bitter taste. It exhibits low hygroscopicity, yet can still absorb moisture and cake together in damp, rainy weather. Powdered ammonium chloride is extremely hygroscopic—especially in high-quality products. The typical moisture absorption point is around 76%. Once the relative humidity in the air exceeds this absorption point, ammonium chloride begins to absorb moisture and readily cakes together.
