What happens when NH3 is dissolved in water?
In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium:NH3 + H2O ------- > NH4+ + OH-Ammonia takes it name from the worshippers of the Egyptian god Amun - the Ammonians, because they used ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in their rites.
Is Milk of magnesia acidic or basic?
magnesium hydroxide in dilute suspension used as an ANTI-ACID. Thus a very mild alkaline substance.
What does the state of a solution usually depend on?
It is dissolved (aqueous if it is in water). A gas solution means that, if the solute were removed from the solution, it would become a gas. It is not a gas while in solution.
What is the colour of blue litmus paper in ammonia?
The color of blue litmus in ammonia will remain to be blue . However the color of red litmus will change into blue. This is because of the basic nature of ammonia.
Is a solution homo or hetero?
This depends on the nature of solution.
What sort of solution does ammonia form with water?
The solution formed will be basic in nature. This is because of the formation of NH(4)OH which is alkaline.
Why aqueous solution of borax is alkaline?
When borax is dissolved in water it ionizes and hydrolysis of borate ion gives OH (the hydroxyl ion) and boric acid. Since boric acid is a weak acid AND Na-OH is strong a alkali an aqueous solution of borax is alkaline in nature.
What is the nature of an aqueous solution of borax?
weakly basic
An aqueous solution contain 0.10M NaOH means the solution is?
basic in nature
An aqueous solution is a solution in which some ionic solutes dissolve in water or is it some molecular solutes dissolve in water?
An aqueous solution is one where water is the solvent. The nature of the solute is not relevant.
Is MgSO4 7H2O acidic in solution?
Yes its aqueous solution is acidic in nature due to hydrolysis of salt.
Is ZnSO4 acidic or basic?
It is a neutral salt but its aqueous solution is acidic in nature.
Is BaCl2 a strong base?
No. it is a neutral salt but its aqueous solution is slightly acidc in nature.
Why NH3 is basic in nature?
Because ammonia will, weakly, accept protons in solution.
What happens when NH3 is dissolved in water?
In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium:NH3 + H2O ------- > NH4+ + OH-Ammonia takes it name from the worshippers of the Egyptian god Amun - the Ammonians, because they used ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in their rites.
How can pH of a solution be tested?
By dissolving the pH solution a colour change will occur in the solution that should be tested.Compairing the colour of solution to the colours marked on of pH chart we can find out if the solution we tested is of alkaline nature or of acidic nature or neutral.Solutions of pH7are neutral solutions.Solutions below pH7 are acidic solutions and those above pH7 are alkaline solutions.
Why sodium extract is alkaline in nature?
It is because sodium reacts with water (present in test tube or porcelain basin) to give a alkaline solution of NaOH.
