Because NH3 boils at −33.34 °C, the liquid must be stored under high pressure or at low temperature. Its heat of vapourization is, however, sufficiently high so that NH3 can be readily handled in ordinary beakers, in a fume hood.
It is cooled before opening its seal to minimise the pressure.
When mixed with oxygen, it burns with a pale yellowish-green flame.Anhydrous ammonia is classified as toxic (T) and dangerous for the environment (N). The gas is flammable (autoignition temperature: 651 °C) and can form explosive mixtures with air (16-25%). The permissible exposure limit (PEL) in the United States is 50 ppm (35 mg/m3), while the IDLH concentration is estimated at 300 ppm. Ammonia reacts violently with the halogens. Nitrogen triiodide, a primary high explosive, is formed when ammonia comes in contact with iodine. Ammonia causes the explosive polymerisation of ethylene oxide. It also forms explosive fulminating compounds with compounds of gold, silver, Mercury, germanium or tellurium, and with stibine. Violent reactions have also been reported with acetaldehyde, hypochlorite solutions, potassium ferricyanide and peroxides.

Why bottle of ammonia is cooled before opening the seal?
Ammonia is a gas. It is pressurized and cooled to liquify
Is pouring boiling water into a plastic bottle dangerous?
It is not advisable to pour boiling water in a plastic bottle. It can cause skin burns if it spills on you. And the plastic bottle could melt or shrink! Wait until the water has cooled off before transferring it into plastic.
Is ammonia solid or liquid or gas?
It can be any of the three phases. Which phase it is depends on what temperature it is at. This is true for almost every compound known to man. At room temperature, ammonia, NH3, is a gas. It becomes a liquid if cooled below -28 degrees F, and will freeze into a solid once below -108 degrees F. Household ammonia is liquid at room temperature; it is a solution of ammonia in water.
What happens when air molcules are cooled?
As air molecules are cooled, they condense and form a liquid, and if cooled even further, will form a solid.
What is cooled and compressed for transportation along pipelines?
Kerogen is cooled and compressed for transportation along pipelines.
Why bottle of ammonia is cooled before opening the seal?
Ammonia is a gas. It is pressurized and cooled to liquify
Why outer surface of a cooled bottle gets wet at room temperature?
Humidity in the air condenses on the cool bottle surface.
Why does hot air in a bottle collaspe in cold water?
When water is cooled, it shrinks. If the water is in a sealed bottle, it shrinks the bottle, too, collapsing it to some degree.
Is pouring boiling water into a plastic bottle dangerous?
It is not advisable to pour boiling water in a plastic bottle. It can cause skin burns if it spills on you. And the plastic bottle could melt or shrink! Wait until the water has cooled off before transferring it into plastic.
What is the best place to keep my Contact lenses when i forget the case?
You could try putting them in bottle caps.probably dissolve a little salt in water & try that, make sure it's cooled before putting in the bottle caps. But rinse the lenses before wearing them again. Be careful while doing so.
Did you see the demonstration of water in a closed flask boiling when cooled?
Yes. I saw it, and I was able to reproduce it in my kitchen. I didn't have a flask, so I used a glass bottle with a screw-on cap. After the water in the bottle was boiled, then removed from the heat and the bottle plunged into ice, the bottle, of course, soon disintegrated, but not before the water inside it had clearly and distinctly resumed its boiling.
How long does it take for a water bottle to thaw?
It takes only a few seconds to make a water bottle. Liquid plastic is injected into a mold which is rapidly cooled to reveal a completed bottle minus the cap.

Water freezing in bottle when opened?
Water freezing in bottle when opened happens in the case of supercooled water. This water has been cooled below freezing point without being crystallized.
Why is the milk cooled before the bacteria are added?
Because it is. face it
What happened to water vapor before it turns to water?
It cooled.
Why is tar heated and not cooled before applied to a roof?
Tar is heated so it can stick to what ever it is going on. If it was cooled it would not stick right.
