What is the difference between ammonia and ammonium radical?
Ammonia is a chemical compound with the formula NH3. It is a colorless, strong-smelling, alkaline gas. Ammonium is a polyatomic ion with the formula NH4+. It forms as a result of ammonia reacting with an acid and in small amounts when ammonia dissolves in water. As the conjugate acid of a weak base, the ion is weakly acidic.
What is the chemical symbol and charge for ammonia?
NH3 = ammonia, gaseous AND in solution, weak base (sometimes as wrongly presented as NH4OH, because ammonia is not a hyroxide!, it isn't a strong base like OH-)NH4+ = ammonium, conjugated acid of ammonia, salty cation.
Standardising HCl using Na2CO3 titration. textbook says the solution at the equivalence point is slightly acidic. is it and why?
it depends on the strength of the acid and base used: so, strong acid + strong base = neutral equivalence point strong acid + weak base = acidic equivalence point weak acid + strong base = basic equivalence point In this case, HCl is a strong acid, and Na2CO3 a weak base. Therefore, the equivalence point will be slightly acidic.
Which is amphoteric solvent nh3 ch3cooh or ch3cooh h2o or h2o nh3 or all are the correct?
all are amphoteric ic solutions because in ammonia plus acetic acid case ammonia is base and acetic acid is acid , in next water will behave as base and in last case water will react as acid .
Is ephedrine sulfate a salt of weak base and strong acid?
Ephedrine sulfate will act as a weak acid in solution because yes it is the salt of a weak base (ephedrine) and a strong acid (sulfuric acid)
Is ammonia weak or strong acid?
ammonia is a base, so it isn't an acid at all
What is stronger nitric acid or ammonia?
There is no real basis for comparison but nitric acid is a strong acid and ammonia is a weak base.
If NaNH2 is dissolved in liquid ammonia is it an acid or a base?
Well ammonia is a weak base and and NaNH2 is a strong base, so overall, you've got a pretty strong base.
If NaNH2 is dissolved in liquid ammonia it is an acid or a base?
Well ammonia is a weak base and and NaNH2 is a strong base, so overall, you've got a pretty strong base.

Is ammnia an acid or a base?
"Ammonia", NH3, is a fairly strong base having at 1M concentration in aqueous solution a pH of 11.6
Is salt an acid?
It depends you can sometimes get an alkaline salt.if you use a strong acid and a weak base during neutralisation you will get an acidic salt (eg. Ammonia chloride. Made from hydrochloric acid and ammonia) However, if you use a weak acid and a strong base during neutralisation you will get an alkaline salt (eg. Sodium ethanoate. Made from sodium hydroxide and ethanoic acid)
Is ammonia a base or acid or neutral?
ammonia is basic
Is Ammonia a acid?
No, ammonia is a base and can be used as a solvent.
