  2. Ammonium nitrate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrate

    It should not be heated in a confined space. [25] The resulting heat and pressure from decomposition increases the sensitivity to detonation and increases the speed of decomposition. Detonation may occur at 80 atmospheres. Contamination can reduce this to 20 atmospheres. [30] Ammonium nitrate has a critical relative humidity of 59.4% at 30 °C ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium_nitrite

    Ammonium nitrite forms naturally in the air and can be prepared by the absorption of equal parts nitrogen dioxide and nitric oxide in aqueous ammonia. [1]It can also be synthesized by oxidizing ammonia with ozone or hydrogen peroxide, or in a precipitation reaction of barium or lead nitrite with ammonium sulfate, or silver nitrite with ammonium chloride, or ammonium perchlorate with potassium ...
