Ammoniak (NH3) is very soluble in water, forming a weak base solution of ammonia (frequently, but not correctly named ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH; it contains more NH3,aq molecules than NH4+ and OH- ions)

Note: ammonia hydroxide is not a good chemical name.

Is dissolved ammonia a liquid gas or solid?

Dissolved Ammonia is generally gaseous ammonia reacting with water to form both NH3 (aq) molecules (i.e. ammonia molecules hydrogen bonded with water) and NH4+(aq) and OH- (aq) ions. These are all in solution, so technically its a liquid.


What effects does ammonia have on water?

Ammonia gas is dissolved in water; an ammonium hydroxide solution is obtained.


Is ammonia dissolved in water a mixture?

Yes, every solution is a mixture of solvent (water) and solute (ammonia).


Is an ammonia water an acid or a base?

Ammonia water is a base chemically, if it reacts with an acidic substance it will produce a salt that is dissolved in the water..


What is aqueous ammonia?

It has not a color. It just like water.


What is liquor ammonia?

Liquor ammonia, or ammonia solution, is a water-based solution of ammonia gas dissolved in water. It is commonly used in household cleaning products and as a precursor in the production of fertilizers and other chemicals. It is also used in some industries for cleaning, pH control, and as a refrigerant.


Is aqueous ammonia a element compound or mixture?

Mixture. Because it contains both water and ammonia.


Is Ammonia heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures?

Ammonia is a compound, not a mixture. Household ammonia is a homogeneous mixture of ammonia and water.


What is the solute in household ammonia?

I disagree. Household ammonia is 5-10% ammonia. The solvent (the major component) is water. Ammonia is the minor component and is thus a solute.


Is ammonia alkali?

Yes, ammonia is considered an alkaline substance. It can act as a weak base when dissolved in water, forming ammonium hydroxide.


Is ammonia soluble?

Yes, ammonia is soluble in water. It forms ammonium ions (NH4+) and hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water.


What is the difference between anydrous ammonia and aqueous ammonia?

Anhydrous ammonia is pure ammonia. Under normal conditions it is a gas, but it is usually stored as a liquid under pressure. Aqueous ammonia is ammonia dissolved in water. Household ammonia is a 3% solution of aqueous ammonia.
