Ammonium nitrate crystals. Polarised light micrograph of a diffusion limited aggregation (DLA) of ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) crystals. Ammonium nitrate is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture,and as an oxidizing agent in explosives. It is a colourless solid. When dissolved in water,it lowers the temperature of the water. When heated,it turns into water and nitrous oxide,or laughing gas. Magnification: x25 when printed at 10 centimetres wide. | |
