Ammonium thiosulfate (ammonium thiosulphate in British English) is an inorganic compound with the formula [NH 4] 2 S 2 O 3. It is white crystalline solid with ammonia odor, readily soluble in water , slightly soluble in acetone and insoluble in ethanol and diethyl ether .
In Australia, macronutrient fertilizers are labeled with an "N-P-K-S" system, which uses elemental mass fractions rather than the standard N-P-K values and includes the amount of sulfur (S) contained in the fertilizer. [5] Fertilizers with additional macronutrients (S, Ca, Mg) may add more numbers to the N-P-K ratio to indicate the amount. The ...
Potassium thiosulfate is commonly used as a fertilizer alone or with urea and/or urea ammonium nitrate [4] due to its ability to delay nitrification. [2] It thus has the ability to reduce the emission of nitrous oxide. [5] It can also reduce the amount of fumigants being released from the soil. [6]
Ammonium sulfate (American English and international scientific usage; ammonium sulphate in British English); (NH 4) 2 SO 4, is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses. The most common use is as a soil fertilizer. It contains 21% nitrogen and 24% sulfur.
Thiosulfate (IUPAC-recommended spelling; sometimes thiosulphate in British English) is an oxyanion of sulfur with the chemical formula S 2 O 2− 3.Thiosulfate also refers to the compounds containing this anion, which are the salts of thiosulfuric acid, such as sodium thiosulfate Na 2 S 2 O 3 and ammonium thiosulfate (NH 4) 2 S 2 O 3.
Ammonium sulfite is used as a preservative for fixers in photography. When film photographs are being developed ammonium sulfite can be one of the reducing agents used to preserve the hypo (sodium thiosulfate or ammonium thiosulfate). [7] Ammonium sulfite can also be used in the making of bricks. The bricks made using ammonium sulfite are ...
Allicin, S-benzyl phenylmethanethiosulfinate, and related thiosulfinates show radical-trapping antioxidant activity associated with easy formation of sulfenic acids [12] The acyclic thiosulfinates from Allium and Brassica species possess antimicrobial, antiparasitic, antitumor and cysteine protease inhibitory activity while the natural 1,2-dithiolane-1-oxides are growth inhibitors.
Ammonium bisulfate, also known as ammonium hydrogen sulfate, is a white, crystalline solid with the formula (NH 4)HSO 4. This salt is the product of the half-neutralization of sulfuric acid by ammonia .
