    Once again, you are correct. But really offer nothing to the4 question .

    I'm gonna guess you are using a pickle jar? Just a guess.



    Kinda like how used baby diapers smell like amonia after a while. Where's the amonia spigot on a baby?

    Aluminum copper alloy
    is the earliest cast aluminum alloy used in the industry. Its main performance characteristics are high room temperature and high temperature mechanical properties, simple casting process, good cutting performance and excellent heat resistance. It is the basis for the development of high strength aluminum alloys

    I did offer to the question, the ammonia source should be investigated further as it's not coming from the jar of metal pucks. What your suggesting is impossible as the ingredients to make pickles will not make ammonia.

    Vinegar and salt makes up the brine and alum is used to make the pickles crunchy.

    Even if he had used a flux containing ammonia chloride at the chloride stage will not recreate ammonia gas.

    Alum is added to pickles to create the classic crispness and crunch of a good dill pickle.

    Ammonium chloride is used as a flux in preparing metals to be tin coated, galvanized or soldered. It works as a flux by cleaning the surface of work pieces by reacting with the metal oxides at the surface to form a volatile metal chloride
