Why is ammonia good?
Generally ammonia is a gas. There are many uses with ammonia.
What is ammonia ice?
"Ice" is the specific term for solid frozen water, but the term is sometimes used generically for other frozen liquids or gasses, such as ammonia.Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen, NH3. At room temperature, it is a poisonous gas. Ammonia boils at -28 degrees Fahrenheit, and freezes at -107 degrees F. This made it a good cooling medium used in early refrigeration units. The problem was, the early refrigerators would sometimes leak, and the leaks were poisonous. A non-toxic substitute called "freon" was developed to substitute for ammonia. Because plants need a lot of nitrogen, modern agriculture often uses "anhydrous" ammonia as a fertilizer. It is partly responsible for the nasty smell of urine.So if you chill liquid ammonia to -110 F, you will have frozen ammonia, or "ammonia ice". The nuclei of comets are often composed partly of "ammonia ice".
Is the ammonia fumes created in an outhouse type toilet harmful?
I don't know how concentrated the ammonia fumes are, but ammonia should not be breathed. If it is very dilute, it should be okay, but if it is unpleasant or strong, it's probably not good!
Which Ammonia is A good grade Refrigerant?
There are not different "types" of ammonia. Ammonia is a gas and when you buy ammonia usually it is absorbed in water at different strengths. You may see ammonia sold as ".88" liquid for instance. The ammonia is used in conjunction with water and hydrogen in an ammonia cycle refrigeration plant. The ammonia/hydrogen is released into the evaporator (cold side) of the fridge. The ammonia boils off to a gas (boiling point of ammonia, in open atmosphere, is -33 oC -the pressure in system keeps it liquid). The Hydrogen/ammonia gasses leave the evaporator and are separated by absorbing the ammonia in water. The hydrogen rises back to the top of the system and the ammonia solution falls to the bottom. The only thing left to do is separate the ammonia and water by heating it (distillation) so that the cycle can be repeated. The purpose of the hydrogen the system is to control the boiling point (vapour pressure) of the ammonia.

it is not an acid. that's all i know. good luck! :PAnswerMost commercial fertilizers in the US are mild bases, frequently salts of one kind or another. However, one common fertilizer, anhydrous ammonia, is a very strong base.
