Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Used to make otherammonium compounds, in pharmaceuticals, in food processing.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer is ammonium carbonate.

Explanation:

Ammonium carbonate is a salt with the chemical formula (NH₄)₂CO₃. Since it readily degrades to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide upon heating, it is used as a leavening agent and also as a smelling salt.  It is also known as baker's ammonia and was a predecessor to the more modern leavening agents baking soda and baking powder. It is a component of what was formerly known as sal volatile and salt of hartshorn and produces a pungent smell when baked.

Ammonium carbonate is produced by combining carbon dioxide and aqueous ammonia. About 80,000 tons/year were produced as of 1997.
