Description

Application
It is used in complexometric titrations (e.g. EDTA for hardness determination) pH adjustment in analytical procedures and stabilizing dosage forms in pharmaceuticals.

Purpose
Its primary purpose is to maintain alkaline pH (effective range 8.25-10.25 pKa 9.25) by resisting changes from added acids or bases particularly useful in metal ion analysis due to ammonia complex formation.

General Description
Ammonium buffer solution is a clear colorless liquid typically composed of ammonium chloride (NHCl) and ammonia (NH or NHOH) in water with a pH range of 10-11 and an ammoniacal odor.
