Ammonia (NH₃) is neutral, however if you add a hydrogen atom, it becomes a positive ammonium molecule (NH₄⁺).

Also, ammonia dissociates into it's conjugate acid and conjugate base (which neutralize each other):

2NH₃ ⇌ NH₄⁺ + NH₂⁻

Why is dry ammonia neutral to litmus?

Dry ammonia is neutral to litmus because it does not produce any protons (H+) or hydroxide ions (OH-) when dissolved in water. Litmus paper changes color in the presence of these ions, so if a substance does not produce them when dissolved, it will not affect the color of litmus paper.


Is ammonia alkaline or is it an acid or neutral?

Ammonia is alkaline, meaning it is a basic compound. It can act as a weak base when dissolved in water, forming ammonium hydroxide.


Is ammonia acid basic or neutral?

Ammonia is a basic compound because it can accept a hydrogen ion (proton) from water to form ammonium hydroxide, which increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in solution.


Is ammonia an acid a base or a neutral?

Ammonia is a weak base, as it can accept a proton (H+) to form ammonium ion (NH4+). It can also act as a nucleophile in reactions due to its lone pair of electrons.


What is the difference between ammonia gas and ammonia ion?

Ammonia gas is a compound composed of one nitrogen atom bonded to three hydrogen atoms. Ammonia ion, on the other hand, is the ionic form of ammonia that has gained a hydrogen ion (proton) to become NH4+. This means ammonia ion has a positive charge, while ammonia gas is neutral.


Is household amonia or pure water a basic solution?

Pure water is the standard for a neutral fluid (neither acidic or basic.) Ammonia is a basic solution.
