Yes - DO NOT SWALLOW AMMONIA.
Well first it goes down your throat, then dissolves in your stomach acids.
It first forms as a gas. You can buy it in shops as a diluted liquid. Not sure if it is a solid.
If you compress and cool an ammonia-oxygen gas mixture, the ammonia will condense and become a liquid. By slowly venting the container in which the mixture is held, the oxygen will escape and leave the liquid ammonia in the container. Ammonia and oxygen had formed a physical mixture in the container, and by performing the physical process described, the two can be separated.
When food is swallowed, it first enters the esophagus, a muscular tube that connects the throat to the stomach. From there, rhythmic contractions called peristalsis push the food down into the stomach, where it is mixed with gastric juices for further digestion. The process of swallowing is coordinated by various muscles and involves the epiglottis, which prevents food from entering the windpipe.
To find the heat evolved, you can use the heat of vaporization for ammonia, which is 23.4 kJ/mol. First, calculate the number of moles in 251 g of ammonia, then multiply the moles by the heat of vaporization to get the total heat evolved.
First, trace amounts of ammonia are everywhere. Second, there is no reason to run and hide from ammonia. Ammonia is nothing to be afraid of.

The first step in nitrification is the conversion of ammonia (NH3) to nitrite (NO2-) by ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB).

yes . liquid ammonia can be used as a fertilizer for your lawn , you must be very sure that you dilute it to 3/4 water and 1/4 ammonia or it will eat your grass and kill As a point of fact, Fritz Haber was the first chemist to make ammonia in the form we know it to this day, back in 1915. They claimed to have made it as a fertilizer, but it was really used to make mustard gas and explosives during World War I. Ironically, Haber was Jewish, and these gases were used to exterminate Jews, forcing him to flee his native Germany. http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/chemistry/laureates/1918/haber-bio.html
Actually ammonia or NH3 is a colourless gas with pungent smell at room temperature. But at room temperature liquid ammonia can also be prepared artificially. To prepare liquid ammonia, 88 g NaOH and 107 g NH4Cl is reacted. Then the produced NH3 gas is held on dry ice acetone bath or some ammount of water is added dropwise in that furnace where the reaction of NaOH and NH4Cl occurred. Then we will get liquid ammonia. The associated reactions are - NaOH + NH4Cl → NaCl + NH3 (g) + H2O NH3(g) + (Water drop or dry ice bath) → liquid ammonia So at room temterature Liquid ammonia can be prepared and it is stable enough and can react with metals like Na or Li, but Solid ammonia does not exist. But it can exist as ammonium salt. Hope you like.
