Weak ammonia is a base. When you dissolve ammonia in water. Water gives its H(+) to ammonia and become OH(-) anion. Ammonia becomes NH(4)(+) cation. As it is receiving H(+) ion, ammonia is basic.

Is ammonia is an acid?
Ammonia is a weak alkali, it is not acidic.
What ia a weak ammonia base or acids?
Ammonia is a weak basic acid. It is soluble in water.
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.
Is ammonia a weak acid?
Ammonia typically acts as a weak base. In most acid-base reactions involving ammonia, the nitrogen atom gains a proton and gains a positive charge. The result is the ammonium cation.
Is NH3 a bronsted acid or base?
it can either be an acid or a base depending on its participation in the reaction. if it accepts H+ then it is a base and if it donates H+ then it is an acid..
Is ammonia is an acid?
Ammonia is a weak alkali, it is not acidic.
What ia a weak ammonia base or acids?
Ammonia is a weak basic acid. It is soluble in water.
Is ammonia weak or strong acid?
ammonia is a base, so it isn't an acid at all
Can ammonia be diluted to a weak acid?
No, because it is not an acid. it is a base
Is ammonia a strong acid or a strong base?
Ammonia is a weak basic (alkaline) with a pH of 11.5. Ammonia is weak because it only partially ionizes.
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.
Is ammonia a weak acid?
Ammonia typically acts as a weak base. In most acid-base reactions involving ammonia, the nitrogen atom gains a proton and gains a positive charge. The result is the ammonium cation.
Is weak ammonia solution an acid or base?
A solution of ammonia is basic, no matter the concentration.
Is NH3 a bronsted acid or base?
it can either be an acid or a base depending on its participation in the reaction. if it accepts H+ then it is a base and if it donates H+ then it is an acid..
Is ammonia acid?
Ammonia (NH3) is a weak base that is in equilibrium with ammonium (NH4+) in aqueous solution. pKa value of NH3=9.25.
Is Ammonia a weak base a strong base?
Ammonia is a weak base
Is the mixture of ammonia and water an acid or a base?
A base. It forms ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH, which is a weak base.
