Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR 500g

Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR 500g

Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR (Analytical Reagent grade) is primarily used as an analytical reagent to detect and quantify the presence of phosphate ions in a solution, typically through a colorimetric reaction where a yellow precipitate forms when phosphate is present; it can also be used to measure other ions like silicate and arsenate in certain applications.
Key points about Ammonium Molybdate Tetrahydrate AR:
Primary use: Phosphate detection and quantification in aqueous solutions.
Mechanism: When added to a solution containing phosphate ions in acidic conditions, it forms a yellow precipitate, allowing for visual or spectrophotometric analysis.
