ammonium-15N hydroxide

Description:

Ammonium-15N hydroxide, with the CAS number 62948-80-5, is a stable chemical compound that consists of ammonium ions (NH4+) where the nitrogen atom is isotopically labeled with nitrogen-15 (15N). This isotopic labeling is significant in various scientific applications, particularly in tracer studies and metabolic research, as it allows for the tracking of nitrogen pathways in biological systems. The compound is typically encountered in aqueous solution, where it dissociates into ammonium ions and hydroxide ions (OH-), making it a weak base. Its properties include a high solubility in water and a tendency to form alkaline solutions, which can influence pH levels in various chemical reactions. Ammonium-15N hydroxide is utilized in analytical chemistry, environmental studies, and agricultural research to investigate nitrogen dynamics and to enhance the understanding of nitrogen's role in ecosystems. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it can be corrosive and may cause irritation to skin and eyes.
