Does the formula for ammonia fit the rules for determining if formulas are acids or bases?

Yes, look at this: ammonia is a very weak base, partially ionising in water:
NH3 + H2O <<----> NH4+ + OH-

What will the deamination of amino acids produce?
Deamination of amino acids will result initially in the formation of ammonia. It has a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3.
what are the names of the acids that are in household ammonia?
Ammonia (NH3) is not an acid, it is a base.
What acids in bleach?
There are no acids in bleach. Bleach has a very basic pH (as opposed to acidic). By contrast, ammonia is acidic. There is not an easy way to tell by sight or smell whether something is an acid or base. There are other ways of determining this, such as Litmus paper or phenolphthalein.
Will ammonia melts iron?
Ammonia can't melt Iron. But it reacts with acids.
Are Ammonia acids based neutral?
Ammonia is a basic gas. It is not a neutral gas.
What are the 3 steps in writing chemical equation?
A. Learn the correct symbols for the elements. (this is similar to reciting the alphabet... a, b, c..., as well as identifying the symoblos we use or each letter.)B. Learn the names and formulas of seven(7) acids and ammonia. The acids and their formulas along with ammonia and its formula are:C. Learn the meaning of several important prefixes and sufixes as they relate to the formula of polyatomic ions, caution charges, and anions.D. Learn the name of the prefixes that are used to denote one(1) through ten(10) atoms in a formula.

What are the sources of amino acids?
ammonia
How can you tell the difference between acids and bases?
Acids most of the time have an H in the beginning of the formula (except for acetic acid.) They also release a H+ ion in water The formula of a Base has an OH in it (except for NH3 Ammonia) They release OH- ions in water.

What ia a weak ammonia base or acids?
Ammonia is a weak basic acid. It is soluble in water.
Formula or acids?
The comman formula of acids are HCL, H2SO4.
Match these common acids and bases with their formulas?
Ca(OH)2 -------- calcium hydroxide NH3 -------------- ammonia H2SO4 ----------- sulfuric acid CH3COOH ------- acetic acid HClO4 ------------ perchloric acid
Are the molecular formulas for all the amino acids the same?
no there r 20 different kinds of amino acids which differ from each other in chemical formula. all 20 amino acids have same NH2,H and COOH group, attached with C but they have different side chains due to which they are different in molecular formula..... Dr danial quddus.
