Is ammonium nitrate a solid?

2 Ammonium Nitrate. Ammonium nitrate is the nitrate salt of the ammonium cation (NH4NO3, sometimes written as N2H4O3) that is a white crystal solid and is highly soluble in water.

How is solid ammonium nitrate formed?

To produce a solid product, the ammonium nitrate solution is concentrated in an evaporator or concentrator. The resulting “melt” contains about 95 to 99.8 percent ammonium nitrate at approximately 149°C (300°F). This melt is then used to make solid ammonium nitrate products.
