How you can identify ammonia?

Ammonia gas has characteristic properties which are used to identify it.Some of Physical properties are:Color: colorlessodor: characteristic strong pungent smell(ammoniacal smell )Physiological nature: causes an irritating, burning sensation in upper part of nasal passage, fatal in large doses.Density: Lighter than air (V.D of ammonia = 8.5)Melting point: -77.70CBoiling point: -33.40CBut physical properties can't be relied to identify a substance, therefore chemical tests should be used.Chemical tests:1. A glass rod dipped in conc. HCl acid brought near ammonia gas gives dense white fumes. This is due to formation of Ammonium ChlorideNH3 + HCl ---> NH4Cl2. When ammonia is passed through Copper sulfate solution a pale blue precipitate of copper hydroxide is formed.3.Colorless Nessler's Reagent turns pale brown and on passing excess ammonia gives a brown precipitate.2K2[HgI4] + NH3 + 3KOH ---> H2N.HgO.HgI + 7KI + 2H2O(nessler's reagent) (Brown ppt.)4.All salts of ammonia on heating with alkali produce ammonia gas which can be identified

What is co2 equivalent of ammonia as greenhouse gas?

Ammonia, as many other gases, contributes to the "greenhouse effect". The mayor gas known to increase global warming through the greenhouse effect is CO2 (carbon dioxide), and to compare the potential of any given gas to the greenhouse effect, an equivalency is often used. This equivalency comes from the fact that a metric ton of CO2 pollutes the environment; so a metric ton of methane contribute to the greenhouse effect as much as 25 metric tons of CO2 would contribute. So, 1 metric ton of ammonia do as much damage to the planet as "CO2 equivalent of ammonia" metric tons of CO2.

Can ammonia be decomposed by ozone?

When treating water, ozone alone has no effect on ammonia. If bromine is present, ozone can oxidize bromine eventually to bromate, and bromate will convert ammonia to nitrogen gas and water. For more, search for "breakpoint bromination".
