Ammonium Nitrate


Ammonium Nitrate
chemical formula: NH4NO3
( powder )
Ammonium Nitrate is an oxidizer that's used in some less common composite rocket propellant formulas. Some of its properties can be demonstrated in our "Water Starts a Fire" or "Instant Cold" experiments
found on our Chemistry Experiments Page.
Keep in a tightly closed container, it has a bad habit of absorbing moisture from the air
and getting hard and chunky.
