Ammonium chloride solution
Ammonium chloride solution is a liquid mixture containing ammonium chloride, a compound made from ammonia and hydrochloric acid. It's often used in medical treatments as a expectorant to loosen mucus, in metalworking for improving soldering, and in laboratories for various chemical processes. When dissolved in water, it creates a mildly salty, slightly bitter solution that can affect the body's acid-base balance or serve as a refrigerant in some cooling systems. It’s important to handle it properly, as it can be irritating to skin and eyes in concentrated forms.
