Ammonium Bicarbonate
Ammonium bicarbonate, often referred to simply as “ammonium bicarbonate” or “baker’s ammonia,” is a chemical compound with the formula NH4HCO3. It is a white, crystalline powder with a characteristic ammonia-like odor when heated, which is why it’s sometimes called “baker’s ammonia.”

Leavening Agent: Ammonium bicarbonate is primarily used as a leavening agent in baking. When it is added to dough or batter and heated, it releases carbon dioxide gas, which causes the dough or batter to rise and become light and fluffy. It is particularly useful in recipes for cookies, crackers, and some traditional European baked goods.
pH Buffer: In some applications, ammonium bicarbonate is used as a pH buffer to control the acidity or alkalinity of a solution. It can help maintain a specific pH level in various chemical processes.
Carbon Source in Chemistry: In chemical laboratories, ammonium bicarbonate can be used as a source of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas for various chemical reactions.
Ammonia Source: When heated, ammonium bicarbonate decomposes to release ammonia gas (NH3). This property can be utilized in some chemical processes that require a source of ammonia.
