	Sal Ammoniac - LoveToKnow 1911
		SAL AMMONIAC, 1 or Ammonium Chloride, NH4C1, the earliest known salt of ammonia, was formerly much used in dyeing and metallurgic operations.
		The first attempt to manufacture sal ammoniac in Europe was made, about the beginning of the 18th century, by Mr Goodwin, a chemist of London, who appears to have used the mother ley of common salt and putrid urine as ingredients.
		Sal ammoniac (ammonium chloride, British and United States pharmacopoeiae) as used in medicine is a white crystalline odourless powder having a saline taste.

	SAL AMMONIAC (Ammonium Chloride)
		Sal ammoniac is one of the most common and most well known of the ammonium-bearing minerals.
		The crystallization occurs as the gases are escaping and crystals tend to be short-lived.
		Sal ammoniac is very soluble in water and crystals will be removed during the first rain of their existence, so to speak, if they are not removed by collectors first.

	Ammonia
		Salts of ammonia have been known from very early times; thus the term Hammoniacus sal appears in the writings of Pliny, although it is not known whether the term is identical with the more modern sal-ammoniac.
		In the form of sal-ammoniac, ammonia was known, however, to the alchemists as early as the 13th century, being mentioned by Albertus Magnus, while in the 15th century Basil Valentine showed that ammonia could be obtained by the action of alkalies on sal-ammoniac.
		Apparently, in classical times, Sal Ammoniac was prepared from the dung of camels found near the temple of Jupiter Ammon at Siwa oasis in Libya.

	Ammonium chloride - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ammonium chloride or Sal Ammoniac (chemically ammonium chloride (NH Cl); also nushadir salt, zalmiak, sal armagnac, sal armoniac, salmiakki, salmiak and salt armoniack) is, in its pure form, a clear white water-soluble crystalline salt with a biting taste.
		Ammonium chloride is used in snow treatment, namely on ski slopes at temperatures above 0 °C, to harden the snow and slow its melting.
		In several countries sal ammoniac is used to spice up liquorice-type dark candies (Finland's salmiakki and the Netherlands' zoute drop are popular examples), and as a flavoring for vodkas.

		The obedient computer was then told to move the two molecules together gradually until they combined to form ammonium chloride (commonly called sal ammoniac), a chemical found in such varied products as cough medicines and battery electrolytes.
		While it was providing visual information, the computer was also spewing out torrents of printed data describing the energy that binds together a molecule of sal ammoniac.
