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.

∙ 9y agoAmmonia is soluble in water. The result is a caustic liquid similar to, but not as strong as caustic soda, and it has a strong smell.
If you place some on your skin, it feels slimy. This is because it changes some of the fats on your skin to soap.
"Cloudy ammonia" is often used as a cleaner, it's basically a solution of ammonia in water.

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).
Does water dissolve inorganic compounds?
A compound such as NH3 (ammonia) is dissolved in water to form an aqueous solution, so the concentration decreases and is less harmful. Ammonia is not organic. If the compound doesn't have Carbon, it isn't organic, and yes it can still be dissolved in water.
Gas whose aqueous solution is basic?
Ammonia gas when dissolved in water produce Ammonium hydroxide so its solution is basic.
What happens when NH3 is dissolved in water?
In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium:NH3 + H2O ------- > NH4+ + OH-Ammonia takes it name from the worshippers of the Egyptian god Amun - the Ammonians, because they used ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) in their rites.
What is house ammonia?
Houshold ammonia is a solution of ammonia (3%) dissolved in water.
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).
What is liquor ammonia?
ammonia gas is highly soluble in water.ammoni dissolved in water is called liquor 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..
Is ammonia low pH?
Ammonia is a basic gas. It shows high ph if it is dissolved in water.
Is ammonia a salt a base or an acid?
Ammonia is a (Lewis) base.Ammonium hydroxide (not ammonia) is a base.Ammonium hydroxide: NH4OH (ammonia gas dissolved in water)Ammonia: NH3
Why is ammonia considered a base when dissolved in water?
it acts as a proton acceptor
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 is produced when ammonia dissolves in water?
when ammnia gas is dissolved in water, NH4+ and OH- produce
Does water dissolve inorganic compounds?

What is the nature of ammonia?
Ammonia is a gas at room temperature which has an irritating odor. It is highly soluble in water, in other words 702 mL of ammonia can be dissolved in 1 mL of water. Inhaling larger doses of ammonia will be fatal.
