The solution formed will be basic in nature. This is because of the formation of NH(4)OH which is alkaline.

By drying ammonia, I guess you mean ammonia gas.. To dry ammonia gas you pass it through a drying tube of sorts filled with KOH or NaOH pellets. This method is for almost dry gas, if you are getting your ammonia gas from a ammonia/water solution you probably have to predry it with anhydrous sodium sulfate or some other sort of dessicant before you lead it through the KOH/NaOH pellet filled drying tube.

Why does a sugar- water solution not conduct electricity?

Because although sugar dissolves in water, it does not produce ions in solution. Electric current travels through solution by hopping from cation to cation and since sugar produces no cations (or ions of any sort) in solution, the current cannot travel through the solution. Therefore, the solution as a whole does not conduct electricity

What sort of solution is formed when hydroxide dissolves in water?

Hydrogen halides are combinations of hydrogen and a halogen like fluorine, chlorine and the like. The combination is an acid, and the solution formed with water is an acid or acidic solution. You'd get HF, which is hydrofluoric acid, an extremely powerful acid. HCl is hydrochloric acid, and we know that it's very strong as well. You'll get ionic acidic solutions by combining hydrogen and a halide.


Why might there be water on the moon?

This isn't really a "why" sort of question. Some things just are. Any water on the moon is not in a liquid form. It might be frozen into permafrost, or locked in minerals as what's called "water of hydration".
