- Applications
- Buffering Agent: As the salt of a weak acid and a weak base, Ammonium Acetate is used withacetic acid to create a buffer solution for mass spectrometry and HPLC
- Precursor: Ammonium Acetate is the main precursor for the prodcution of acetamide compounds: NH4CH3CO2 → CH3C(O)NH2 + H2O
- Rubber Latex Production: Ammonium Acetate is used as a gelling or foaming agent, which serves to trap air bubbles within the latex while it is being set.
- Agricultural Chemistry: Ammonium Acetate is used as a reagent for the determination of soil Cation Exchange Capacity. Ammonium Acetate is used in the determination of available potassium in soil, the ammonium ion acts as a replacement cation.
- Catalyst: Ammonium Acetate is used as a catalyst in Knoevenagel condensation reactions and as a source of ammonia in the Borch reaction in organic synthesis.
