Amine smell
Thread Content
I earnestly ask all the experts for help: what can be used to remove the amine smell associated with potassium amide? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
Original poster, first correct the Chinese characters used to describe the names of chemical substances, and then ask your technical questions. Potassium is an alkali metal element that does not form any type of acid root, so there is no such thing as potassium acid in the world. Furthermore, whether it is inorganic ammonia or organic ammonia, when it forms a salt with hydrogen ions, it is collectively referred to as ammonium. So the ammonium potassium acid you mentioned simply does not exist.
It is indeed formamide; those three characters are listed on the label. Even after dissolving it in water and recrystallizing it, there is still a unpleasant amine odor

Amine is the specific term for organic ammonia; in other words, amines are a class of substances that include thousands of different varieties. Also, what is your basis for distinguishing the different tastes of ammonia and amines? Because some amines have a smell very similar to that of ammonia.
It’s the ammonium smell I detect during the dissolving in water, not the smell of ammonia
