Anybody know a synonym for Ammonium Hydroxide? I've got a reference to it, but can't find it in any of the usual places
Thanks
Laurie

Laurie,
Apologies if you get this message twice - Gremlins are at work!
Try Ammonia Solution(s) as a starter. Then Ammonium Aqueous or Ammoium Hydroxide Solutions.
(If you use "Google" as a search engine and enter Ammonium Hydroxide it brings up a number of Hazard Data Sheets which may be of use to you.)
Hope this helps,
Frank Cooper

The golden oldies amongst us will also remember Sal Ammoniac. A certain Mrs Thatcher will remember this as she still thinks of sulphuretted hydrogen.
Seriously though the hazards are so close to those of ammonia gas itself that the applicability of the individual hazards are not readily distinguishable, other than the liquid - gas one which speaks for itself

Laurie,
Ammonium Hydroxide:
Synonyms:
Aqua ammonia, ammonium hydrate, ammonia aqueous solution.
CAS no 1336-21-6
Hope this helps if you want further information forward me your fax no and I will send you a copy of the relevant MSDS.
Keith.

Just to avoid any confusion - important when dealing with a substance as nasty as ammonium hydroxide - sal ammoniac is ammonium chloride salt, a RELATIVELY safe material, though corrosive to metals (the stuff that used to leak from torch batteries).
Sulphuretted hydrogen is an entirely unrelated - though equally nasty - gas, hydrogen sulphide.
A common synonym for aqueous ammonia in the USA (common source of hazard info on the net) is ammonia liquor or liquor ammonia.

You are right it was sal volatile I should have written. A significant number of the ammonia salts and solutions are corrosive. I was most taken by Mrs Thatcher when she visited the lab. I worked in back in 1978, we forget she was trained as a chemist back in the '30's. Still it is good to know there are people with my sort of memories around still
