Additional
Information:

Chemical
Properties : colourless crystals

General
Description: White solid with a weak odor of ammonia. Sinks and mixes
slowly with water.

Air
& Water Reactions : Water soluble.

Reactivity
Profile : Salts, basic, such as Ammonium formate, are generally
soluble in water. The resulting solutions contain moderate
concentrations of hydroxide ions and have pH\'s greater than 7.0.
They react as bases to neutralize acids. These neutralizations
generate heat, but less or far less than is generated by
neutralization of the bases in reactivity group 10 (Bases) and the
neutralization of amines. They usually do not react as either
oxidizing agents or reducing agents but such behavior is not
impossible.

Health
Hazard : Inhalation causes irritation of nose and throat.
Ingestion irritates mouth and stomach. Contact with eyes or skin
causes irritation.

Fire
Hazard : Special Hazards of Combustion Products: Toxic and
irritating ammonia and formic acid gases may form in fire.
