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.


Ammonia is a weak base because?

The ions of ammonia do not fully dissociate in aqueous solution.


What is observe when aqueous ammonia is added in excess to a silver chloride solution?

The white precipitate of silver chloride will dissolve when aqueous ammonia is added.


Will H2O and NH3 form a solution?

Yes, it will form the weak alkali aqueous ammonia/ ammonia solution/ ammonium hydroxide.


What state is ammonia?

IN pure form at room temperature ammonia is a gas. However, household ammonia is sold in the form of an aqueous solution.


What is ammonia's pH value?

A 1.0 M aqueous solution has a pH of 11.6


What is the net ionic equation for silver chloride with aqueous ammonia solution?

Correct name for NH4OH?

ammonium hydroxide, also called ammonia solution, ammonia water, aqueous ammonia, or aqua ammonia, solution of ammonia gas in water, a common commercial form of ammonia. It is a colourless liquid with a strong characteristic odour.


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.


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.


Information on liquor ammonia?

liquor ammonia is a saturated solution of ammonia in water (due to the reason that ammonia can dissolve very fast in water).liquor ammonia is not liquid ammonia.liquid ammonia is prepared by liquefaction of ammonia under high pressure n low temp Aqueous Ammonia is produced by dissolving anhydrous ammonia in water . By passing ammonia in water following reaction takes place: NH3(aq)+H2O(l)NH4+(aq)+OH(aq) and its chemical formula is NH4OH. The strength of aqueous ammonia depends on percentage of anhydrous ammonia passed in given water. The strength of an aqueous ammonia solution can be measured in: Percentage (%), Percentage weight/volume (% w/v), Percentage weight/weight of solution (% w/w), Percentage weight/weight of solution(%g/g) and Specific Gravity(S.G). Specific gravity of aqueous ammonia varies depending on temperature of solution. Specific gravity is measured by Hydrometer and Baumé scale is a pair of hydrometer scales (also noted by degrees Baume, degrees Baumé; B°, Be°, Bé°, Baume). Hydrometer scale shows ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water. Aqueous Ammonia also known as ammonia water, ammonia solution, aqua ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, diluted ammonia and in India it is commonly known as liquor ammonia. Aqueous Ammonia is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, inheriting water colour and ammonia property. It is an excellent acid neutralizer and its pH varies with concentration.


Is an aqueous solution of ammonia alkaline in nature?

Yes, this solution (NH4OH, ammonium hydroxide) is alkaline.
