Ammonia (NH3), as used commercially, is often called anhydrous ammonia. This term emphasizes the absence of water in the material.
Anhydrous ammonia gas is lighter than air and will rise, so that generally it dissipates and does not settle in low-lying areas. However, in the presence of moisture (such as high relative humidity), the liquefied anhydrous ammonia gas forms vapors that are heavier than air. These vapors may spread along the ground or into low-lying areas with poor airflow where people may become exposed.
What else can I help you with?
Does ammonia sink or float?
Sink or float... on what? - The general rule is that an object will float if it has less density than the fluid (gas or liquid) in which it is placed.
What gas is heavier ammonia or oxygen?
Oxygen (1,429 g/cm3) is more dense than ammonia (o,70 g/cm3).
Is ammonia more dense or less dense than air?
Ammonia is less dense than air at room temperature and pressure. This is why ammonia gas rises in air.
Is ammonia vapor heavier than nitrogen?
Yes, ammonia vapor is heavier than nitrogen. The molecular weight of ammonia (NH3) is 17 grams per mole, while nitrogen (N2) has a molecular weight of 28 grams per mole. This difference in molecular weight causes ammonia vapor to be denser and heavier than nitrogen gas.
Is LP gas heavier than air?
Yes, LP gas is heavier than air.

Are solvents heavier than air?
Yes solvents are heavier than air
Is Nitrous Oxide lighter or heavier than air?
Nitrous Oxide is heavier than air.
Is argon heavier then air?
Yes, argon is heavier than air. Argon has a higher density than air, so it will sink below the air in the atmosphere.
What is heavier than air flying craft?
"Heavier than air" refers to airplanes.
Which is a heavier-than-air flying craft?
An airplane is a heavier than air flying craft
Is LP gas heavier than air?
Yes, LP gas is heavier than air.
What kind of air is heavier than another type of air?
Gas is heavier than oxygen. Cold air is heavir than hot air
Why are aircraft categorized into heavier-than-air and heavier-than-air vehicles?
One is lighter and the other one is heavier. :D
