smelling salts (dict)

Smelling Salts

• When placed in water, it is called "aromatic spirits of ammonia."

• Smelling salts are used to arouse consciousness because the release of ammonia NH₃ gas that accompanies their use irritates the membranes of the nose and lungs, and thereby triggers an inhalation reflex (that is, it causes the muscles that control breathing to work faster).
