Product Description of Ammonium Molybdate CAS#13106-76-8

Ammonium molybdate is a colorless, white or pale greenish-yellow powder. It is mainly used in chemical analysis for phosphorus determination. Dissolved in nitric acid solution, it precipitates phosphorus as ammonium phosphomolybdate, which forms (NH₄)₃PO₄·12MoO₃ after drying at 110 °C. Its derived phosphomolybdic acids are used as reagents for alkaloid detection as well as the analysis and separation of alkali metals.

Product Application of Ammonium Molybdate CAS#13106-76-8
