browsing around the medicine aisle of the grocery store i came across a bottle of powdered "ammonium alum". that is all the bottle said.

so, whatis it?

Read the bottle, look it up on google



DAMN

no fuckin shit. that was the first thing i did.

google said Aluminum Ammonium Sulfate Dodecahydrate

can the ammonia salt (if any) be released if sodium hydroxide were added?

but ammonium alum is also in carmex... so what the fuck

NH3 is a molecule, not a salt. I heard that chicks sometimes put Alum on their vaginas to tighten em up before sex so their partners wont be dissatisfied. Is this true? Seriously?

Is a salt not made up of molecules?

Alum, while able to pucker your mouth if you taste it, doesn't have venous restriction properties (or at least I don't think it does). Therefore, it probably won't tighten the old muff burger. It may however add a sour taste to it. This may or may not be a desirable effect.

Stop dating fat whores and you won't have this problem.hahahahaha

No, a salt is not composed of molecules, it is composed of ions - a cation and an anion.

eg. two ions, Na+ and Cl- give NaCl (or table salt)

but two molecules, N2+ 3H2 give 2NH3 - ammonia
