The smelling salts release ammonia (NH 3) gas, which triggers an inhalation reflex. It causes the muscles that control breathing to work faster by irritating the mucous membranes of the nose and lungs. [7] Fainting can be caused by excessive parasympathetic and vagal activity that slows the heart and decreases perfusion of the brain. [14]
Spirit of hartshorn (or spirits of hartshorn) is an archaic name for aqueous ammonia. Originally, this term was applied to a solution manufactured from the hooves and antlers of the red deer, as well as those of some other animals. The aqueous solution was colorless and pungent, consisting of about 28.5 percent ammonia.
Ammonium carbonate is produced by combining carbon dioxide and aqueous ammonia. About 80,000 tons/year were produced as of 1997. 2 NH 3 + H 2 O + CO 2 → [NH 4] 2 CO 3 [2] An orthorhombic ammonium carbonate monohydrate is known ([NH 4] 2 CO 3 ·H 2 O). It crystallizes in an ammonia solution exposed in a carbon dioxide-rich atmosphere. [3]
The first anhydrous ammonia was shipped to ammunition producers on Oct. 16. It was shut down right after Japan surrendered and stayed closed for 11 months. It was reopened to produce ammonia to ...
Ammonia forms 1:1 adducts with a variety of Lewis acids such as I 2, phenol, and Al(CH 3) 3. Ammonia is a hard base (HSAB theory) and its E & C parameters are E B = 2.31 and C B = 2.04. Its relative donor strength toward a series of acids, versus other Lewis bases, can be illustrated by C-B plots.
Cold weather always brings its own set of challenges, and one common winter woe is the discomfort of dry and chapped lips. Bitter cold, harsh winds and indoor heating can strip delicate skin of ...
Here's how to distinguish "sundowning"—agitation or confusion later in the day in dementia patients—from typical aging, from doctors who treat older adults.
