Hi there, I've done a search but can't find anything on this...
In smelling salts, Ammonia is released from Ammonium Carbonate which breaks down around normal low \ room temperature.
Ammonium Bicarbonate however, which is easily available on ebay, is slightly more stable, breaks down at 36 degrees. If I wanted to use Ammonium Bicarbonate to make smelling salts, is there anything I could mix it with to release the ammonia extremely slowly at lower temperatures? (I have been infomed it reacts with alkaline)?
Any help appreciated.
