Monoammonium Phosphate has the molecular formula H6NO4H_6NO_4H۶NO۴ and is commonly represented as NH4H2PO4NH_4H_2PO_4NH۴H۲PO۴. Its melting point is 190 degrees Celsius, and its density is 1.80 g/cm³. In the agricultural industry, monoammonium phosphate is used as a chemical fertilizer and is one of the most important fertilizers in this sector. There are three vital elements for plants, and monoammonium phosphate contains two of these essential elements—phosphorus and nitrogen.
Because monoammonium phosphate is soluble in water, it quickly dissolves in the presence of adequate moisture in the soil, promoting plant growth.
This compound also has non-agricultural applications, including its use in dry powders. It is found in fire extinguishers in homes, schools, and offices, where it quickly helps extinguish flames.
This compound is available in the market in 25-kilogram bags or packages.
