IUPAC Name of Ammonium phosphate: triazanium phosphate
Ammonium phosphate is referred as the salt of ammonia & phosphoric acid. Ammonium phosphate has the formula (NH4)3PO4 & it consists of ammonium cations & phosphate anion. Ammonium phosphate is obtained as a crystalline powder upon mixing concentrated solutions of ammonia & phosphoric acid, or on the addition of excess of ammonia to the acid phosphate (NH4)2(HPO4). Ammonium phosphate is soluble in water, & the aqueous solution on boiling loses ammonia & the acid phosphate (NH4) (H2PO4) is formed.
Ammonium phosphate is mostly used as an ingredient in fertilizers as a high source of elemental nitrogen. Ammonium phosphate is also used as a flame retardant in thermoplastic compositions
