This substance is commonly called "commercial ammonium fluoride". The word "neutral" is sometimes added to "ammonium fluoride" to represent the neutral salt - F vs the "acid salt" (NH<sub>4</sub>HF<sub>2</sub>). The acid salt is usually used in preference to the neutral salt in the ]ing of glass and related ]s. This property is shared among all soluble fluorides. For this reason it cannot be handled in glass test tubes or apparatus during laboratory work. |
