Ammonium carbonate, utilized in high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), is a white crystalline ammonium salt. It is composed of water-soluble cubic crystals, with the chemical formula (NH4)2CO3. This compound can be synthesized through the reaction of carbon dioxide with ammonia. Ammonium carbonate is a key component in smelling salts, primarily due to its strong ammonia scent. It is soluble in water and, when subjected to heat, decomposes into gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide.
