All bases produce hydroxide ions in solution. A weak base only partially ionizes in solution. Another way of putting it is that weak bases have incomplete protonation.

Why aqueous soln of ammonia acts as a weak base?

Because ammonia gas (NH3) reacts with water (H2O) to produce the aqueous solution ammonium hydroxide. This reaction produces hydroxide ions in the solution, thus making it an Arrhenius base.


Why is the ph of ammonia higher than 7?

Because ammonia is a base in solution, albeit a weak base.


Is NH3OH an acid or base?

Ammonia is a base. When ammonia is dissolved in water it produces an alkaline solution which can be neutralised by acids to produce ammonium salts. So it is a base.

Does a solution of ammonia contain mostly ammonia molecules or mostly ammonium ions and hydroxide ions?

It contains more ammonia molecules because ammonia is only a weak base.


What is the charge of ammonia?

I believe ammonia is unionized, which means it has no charge.Added:NH3 = ammonia, gaseous AND in solution, weak base (sometimes as wrongly presented as NH4OH, because ammonia is not a hyroxide!, it isn't a strong base like OH-), neutralNH4+ = ammonium, conjugated acid of ammonia, salty cation.
