Ammonium iodide

Template:Chembox new

Ammonium iodide is the chemical compound NH4I. It is used in photographic chemicals and some medications.[1] It can be prepared by the action of hydroiodic acid on ammonia. It is easily soluble in water, from which it crystallizes in cubes. It is also soluble in ethanol. It gradually turns yellow on standing in moist air, owing to decomposition with liberation of iodine.[1]
