Agreed.
You'll have to look up the melting/decomposition point of your chemical, and judge where to go from there.
And, as a side note, make sure you know which 'ammonium phosphate' you're using...there's monobasic (NH
4H
2PO
4), dibasic ((NH
4)
2HPO
4), and tribasic (the REAL one, (NH
4)
3PO
4)...and each has its own property
Each can be called "Ammonium Phosphate"...even though TECHNICALLY only the tribasic one is...some chemists are lazy
