Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), more commonly known as monoammonium phosphate (MAP), is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula NH4H2PO4, mainly used as a fertilizer.
Contents
Properties
Chemical
MAP will decompose when heated to yield water and ammonia vapors, leaving behind polyphosphoric acid residue.
Physical
MAP is a crystalline white solid, soluble in water and alcohol. It has a density of 1.80 g/cm3.
Availability
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is sold as fertilizer, and it's fairly pure, though oneu can increase its purity via recrystallization.
It is also available as the main component of dry powder fire extinguishers.
Preparation
Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate can be made by reacting ammonium bicarbonate or ammonium carbonate with phosphoric acid, in the following molar ratio:
- NH4HCO3 + H3PO4 → NH4H2PO4 + H2O + CO2
- (NH4)2CO3 + 2 H3PO4 → 2 NH4H2PO4 + 2 H2O + 2 CO2
Projects
- Grow large crystals
- Make piezoelectric crystals
- Make ammonia
- Make calcium phosphate
Handling
Safety
MAP is safe to handle and has little toxicity. It is not flammable.
Storage
MAP should be stored in closed bottles, plastic bottles are cheap.
Disposal
MAP has low toxicity, and can be dumped in the ground as fertilizer or poured down the drain.
