Preparation of Ammonium nitrate: it is prepared by reaction of ammonia with nitric acid. The acid-base reaction gives a solution of ammonium nitrate.
HNO3(aq) + NH3(g) → NH4NO3(aq)

Uses of Ammonium nitrate: it is widely used in fertilizers and explosives. It is also used as pesticide, chromatography reagent, refrigerant, nitrogen oxide absorber and oxidizer.

When you are using Ammonium nitrate, please be cautious about it. As a chemical, it is irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin. When contact with combustible material, it may cause fire. What's more, it is explosive when mixed with combustible material. During using it, wear suitable protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In case of fire and/or explosion do not breathe fumes. Keep away from heat, sources of ignition and combustible material. If contact with eyes accidently, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice.
