Does ammonia expire?

If ammonia is left in an open container (no lid) the ammonia may evaporate faster than the water content. If its in a closed container it should be fine


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.

Does scotch ever go bad?

If it's a sealed bottle then no. I've seen some seriously old bottles of Scotch that have lost a couple of cm's through the seal from evaporation, but if you keep a bottle at the same cool temperature year round it shouldn't happen. If it's an open bottle you may notice a difference due to oxidisation after a few years or loss of colour if it's left in direct sunlight. But if it takes you that long to drink an open bottle of Scotch then you probably wouldn't care much about it anyway!
