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.


How can you make salts out of aqueous ammonia?

Salts are obtained after the reaction of NH4OH with acids.


What happens when aqueous ammonia is added to lime water?

Aqueous ammonia is ammonium hydroxide NH4OH. When it is added to limewater which is actually calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 there will be no reaction.


Why is aqueous ammonia also called ammonia hydroxide?

Aqueous ammonia is sometimes called ammonium hydroxide because ammonia (NH3) reacts with water to a small degree to produce ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH).NH3 + H2O NH4OHBecause ammonia is a weak base only small amounts of ammonium hydroxide are actually formed and an equilibrium is established.


How do chemical manufacturers make the reaction continue to make ammonia once the reaction has reached equilibrium?

By Le Chetalier's principle - remove product. This encourages the reaction to produce more product to balance the equilibrium.


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.


In household ammonia are there the compounds of ammonia nitrate or ammonia sulfate?

Ammonia nitrate and ammonia sulfate are not proper IUPAC or common chemical names. Household ammonia consists of ammonia gas (NH3) dissolved in water. Once dissolved in water, part of the ammonia reacts with water to produce equilibrium concentrations of the positive ammonium ion, H4N+ and the negative hydroxide ion, OH-. The relevant equilibrium chemical reactions are: (Reaction#1, ammonia dissolution) NH3 (gas ) + bulk H2O = NH3 (aq) (Reaction#2, reaction with water) NH3(aq) + H2O = H4N+ + OH- (Reaction#3, water dissociation) H2O = H+ + OH- As usual, the equilibrium conditions for all three reactions must be met simultaneously.


Why aqueous soln of ammonia acts as a weak base?

Because ammonia gas (NH3) reacts with water (H2O) to produce the aqueous solution ammonium hydroxide. This reaction produces hydroxide ions in the solution, thus making it an Arrhenius base.


What is the common ionic species do aqueous ammonia and potassium hydroxide have?

OH- as the reaction below: NH3 + H20 = NH4+ OH-


What is the chemical symbol for Aqueous ammonia?

"NH4OH" or NH3(aq) can be both be used as the symbol for aqueous ammonia.


What is a net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of hydrobromic acid and ammonia are combined?

The chemical reaction is:HBr(aq) + NH3(aq) = NH4BrH+ + Br- + (NH4)+ (OH)- = (NH4)+ Br- + H2O


Is water aqueous or liquid?

"Th confusuing thing is . . . ." the previous answer. In chem, H2O is a liquid.
