Sulphamic Acid (Crystal/Powder)
Sulphamic acid (H₃NSO₃), also known as sulfamic acid, is a white, crystalline solid that is highly soluble in water. It is a versatile and widely used industrial chemical, typically available in crystal or powder form. Sulphamic acid is known for its strong acidic properties and is used in various applications, including cleaning, descaling, and chemical synthesis. Sulfamic acid (H3NSO3) may be considered an intermediate compound between sulfuric acid (H2SO4), and sulfamide (H4N2SO2), effectively replacing a hydroxyl (–OH) group with an amine (–NH2) group at each step. This pattern can extend no further in either direction without breaking down the sulfonyl (–SO2–) moiety.
