Bases displace ammonia from ammonium compounds, so...
1) Take small amount of the substance that you want to test to see if ammonium ions are present
2) Add some sodium hydroxide
3) Heat gently
4) Ammonia gas is produced if the ammonium ion was present. You can know that ammonia gas is given off if the gas turns damp litmus paper blue.
What else can I help you with?
Could ammonium be a gas?
Ammonium isn't a gas, it is an ion. Ammonia, however, is a gas.
Is the ammonium ion an acid or a base?
The ammonium ion is an acid.
What polyatomic ions is known as ammonium?

How can you identify Ammonium?
Ti identify ammonium ion, NaOH is added to the original solution of the ammonium salt and a paper dipped in HCl is brought to mouth of test tube. If white vapours are observed, then ammonium is present. Or Neissler's reagent(K2HgI4) can be added to the original solution of the ammonium salt. A reddish brown ppt. is observed in case of ammonium ion.
What is ammonium ion as an element?
Ammonium is an ion not an element; the chemical formula is (NH4)+.
Is ammonium permanganate ionic or covalent?
Ammonium permanganate is an ionic compound. It contains the ammonium ion (NH4+) which is a positively charged ion and the permanganate ion (MnO4-) which is a negatively charged ion.
What is the ammonium ion?
The ammonium cation is (NH4)+.
Is ammonium sulfide a ionic?
Yes, ammonium sulfide is an ionic compound. It is composed of the ammonium ion (NH4+) and the sulfide ion (S2-), which are held together by ionic bonds formed through the transfer of electrons from the ammonium ion to the sulfide ion.

What is a cation and what cation is found in ammonium nitrate?
A cation is an ion that has lost electrons giving it a positive charge. Ammonium is the cation in ammonium nitrate.
What is the ammonium ion present in?
Ammonium ion (NH4+) is present in all ammonium salts (eg. ammonium chloride, or ammonium nitrate), and in smaller amounts in an ammonia (NH3) solution.
