Ammonium Sulfate is not soluble in Alcohol or liquid Ammonia . Ammonium sulfate is prepared commercially by reacting ammonia with Sulfuric Acid (H2SO4). In the soil the SO4 is released and forms sulfuric acid and the ammonia contributes Nitrogen . Ammonium sulfate is prepared commercially from the ammoniacal liquor of Gas-works and is purified by recrystallization. It forms large Rhombic prisms, has a somewhat saline taste and is easily soluble in water. The aqueous solution on boiling loses some Ammonia and forms an acid sulfate. It is used largely as an artificial manure, and also for the preparation of other ammonium salts. It is also a component of the ABC powder in some dry powder Fire Extinguisher s. In Biochemistry , Ammonium Sulfate Precipitation is a common method for concentrating Protein s. PROPERTIES OF AMMONIUM SULFATE
