  • Ammonia, or azane, is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with chemical formula NH3.
  • Ammonia is helpful in many aspects; mainly:
    • It serves as a precursor to food and fertilizers.
    • Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building-block for the synthesis of many pharmacueticals, and
    • it is used in many commercial cleaning products. Household ammonia is a solution of NH3 in water and is used as a general purpose cleaner for many surfaces. Because ammonia results in a relatively streak-free shine, one of its most common uses is to clean glass, porcelain and stainless steel. It is also frequently used for cleaning ovens and soaking items to loosen baked-on grime.
