How long will an ammonia and bleach mixture create toxic fumes?

until one of them is used up.


Can you mix methanol and ammonia?

Ammonia is often mixed with methanol and water for industrial purposes. However, the mixture should be handled carefully as it is highly toxic, corrosive, and can cause long lasting health problems.


How long will you have shortness of breath after exposure to bleach and ammonia?

Possibly, for the rest of your very short life. Mixing bleach and ammonia can create toxic gasses, which is why all the labels warn you against doing this.DO NOT MIX HOUSEHOLD CLEANING CHEMICALS!If you are still experiencing shortness of breath, go to the emergency room.


How long do you have to be exposed to a mixture of 4 cups bleach and 4 cups ammonia in a 17x11x10 ft room before it is deadly?

The result would depend on the concentration of the ammonia and the bleach, as well as other factors such as the health of the individual. Attempting to research this question though experimentation is certainly a bad idea!


What does ammonia gas smell like?

Ammonia smells like very long-stayed urine and a mixture with cabbage.


How would a mixture of ammonic and hydrogen be separated?

The boiling point of ammonia is -33.34C. The cheapest, almost-no-equipment way to do it I can think of is to put the mixture into a container, set the container in dry ice until all the ammonia condensed out of the mixture, then either capture or release into the atmosphere the hydrogen. The freezing point of ammonia and the sublimation point of dry ice are within a degree Celsius of each other, so if you leave it in there long enough the ammonia will freeze solid.


Will bleach clean urine stains?

Do not use bleach to clean urine. After urine has been sitting out for a while, it is full of ammonia. Ammonia and bleach mixed together create Chlorine gas, which is extremely dangerous. Specifically, it causes a lot of respiration problems and can even be fatal if you are exposed to it for too long. You're better off using something like nature's miracle or white vinegar on the urine.


What are long term effects on human lungs of breathing animal urine?

Breathing animal urine does not pose a risk to most people. However, in concentrated amounts found in poorly ventilated areas, ammonia fumes produced by animal urine can cause a number of serious symptoms after long-term exposure. These symptoms may include burning and watering of the eyes, coughing, wheezing, headache, and nausea, among others. The World Health Organization considers ammonia to be a possible carcinogen, meaning that inhalation of these fumes may be linked to cancer growth. Never clean up animal urine that has a strong ammonia smell with bleach; mixing bleach with ammonia will cause toxic gases to form.The most common symptoms reported include headaches and burning, watery eyes.


How is ammonia separated from unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen?

When the gases leave the reactor they are hot and at a very high pressure. Ammonia is easily liquefied under pressure as long as it isn't too hot, and so the temperature of the mixture is lowered enough for the ammonia to turn to a liquid. The nitrogen and hydrogen remain as gases even under these high pressures, and can be recycled. Another way is to add the water to the mixture (or pass the mixture from cold water) Ammonia is highly soluble in water but other two gases are not.


Terrestial animals are generally either ureotelic or uricotelic not ammonotelic why?

Ammonia is a highly toxic compound. So it shouldn't be stored in an organism's body for a long time. The problem is that ammonia can only be eliminated in a solution (because it is higly soluble). Aquatic animals are sorrounded by water, so water conservation is not a problem for them. In this manner, they are continously eliminating ammonia, in some cases even through their skins. On the other hand, terrestrial animals have to conserve water. They cannot waste it, so ammonia (in a solution) can't be eliminated continously . Since ammonia is highly toxic, it has to be converted to a less toxic form, like urea or uric acid. Both of them can be eliminated when the organism has enough water to spend.


Describe the dangers posed by hazardous compounds in the home?

There should be none as long as adequately ventilated & securely stored. They must also be compatible. Some are never stored together (bleach/acid) Notice how pool supply companies never keep them near each other? Same as bleach & ammonia.


Do pennies rust in water vinegar and bleach?

A mixture of water, vinegar, and bleach is corrosive to most metals. If pennies are placed in it, the copper will oxidize. Rusting is a term only applying to the oxidization of iron, not other metals. The pennies will look a lot cleaner and the liquid will turn blue. If you leave the pennies in the mixture too long, holes may start to form in them.
