Because it is basic and acids react with bases. The lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen of ammonia will donate to the proton from an acid. An ammonium salt is thus formed. e.g.
NH3 + HCl = NH4Cl

Can bases be found in foods and in cleaning products?
Because they are successful, for example soap.
How do you differentiate between an acid and an alkali?
An acid has a pH level below 7, whilst an alkali has a pH level above 7. Acids contain H+ ions and alkalis consist of OH- ions. Acids turn litmus paper red, alkalis turn it blue. When acids react with metals they form hydrogen and a salt. Acids a sour to taste. Alakalis react with acids to form salt and water, a reaction called neutralisation. Alkalies feel soapy to touch. All alkalis except ammonia will react with ammonium compounds, driving ammonia out.
Do silicates react with acids as carbonates do?
No. Silicates do not easily react with acids.
what are the names of the acids that are in household ammonia?
Ammonia (NH3) is not an acid, it is a base.
What metals react with acids not water?
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.

What is an example of a bronstedlowry acid?
The Bronsted-Lowry theory is that acids and bases are defined by the way they react with each other. Liquid ammonia and acetic acid are examples.
What acids react with each other?
citric acids react with each other
Does anything not react with acids?
Many plastics and glasses will not react with most acids.
What are the sources of amino acids?
ammonia
What do acids react with what?
Acids react -in most cases, but not exclusively- well with basic (alkaline) compounds.
What is an example of Bronsted-Lowry acid?
The Bronsted-Lowry theory is that acids and bases are defined by the way they react with each other. Liquid ammonia and acetic acid are examples.
Does aqueous ammonia react with oxalic acid?
Yes. Ammonia is a base. It will react with oxalic acid to produce ammonium oxalate.
What metals react with acids not water?
For example uranium, mercury, vanadium don't react with water but can react with acids.
