If you ever need ammonia gas you can strongly heat ammonium bicarbonate and it will release ammonia gas. This also produces water and carbon dioxide
as byproducts which may be undesiarable depending on what the ammonia gas is going to be used for.

How about ammonium chlorate or perchlorate? NH4HCO3 + NaClO4 --> NaHCO3 + NH4ClO4
Sodium bicarbonate is fairly insoluble and will precipitate.

Sodium Bicarbonate is semi-soluble, so it will be helpful to cool it to about 4*C or so. At 18*C, 7.8g NaHCO3 dissolve in 100g H2O.

The best thing you can do with NH4HCO3 this time is to bake a cake. Many recipes for Christmas
cakes use it as leavening agents / baking powder. So bake and don't bomb

It is a component of some levening agents, ammonium is not that bad for you expecially compared to some things, i.e., bromates in bread on purpose and
such.

Dichromate
If you can get potassium or sodium dichromate, you can make ammonium dichromate
which is fun to watch in a simulated volcano as it burns. I wouldn't recommend making ammonium chlorate - too dangerous and unstable.

Ammonium sulfide...
Hallo to all,
another intresting thing to do with NH4HCO3 is ammonium sulfide!
I've obtained it by adding solid NH4HCO3 to a solution of Na2S (sodium sulfide).
Please post other ideas and maintain live this thread!
Have fun!
