Because ammonia is a base in solution, albeit a weak base.
Ammonia is a substance that when dissolved causes a solution to be basic (pH higher than 7) however without knowing the concentration of the ammonia in solution, it is impossible to determine the pH.
The pH value of alkali substances is typically above 7, indicating that they are basic. Alkalis have a pH value greater than 7 but less than 14. Examples of alkalis include ammonia, sodium hydroxide, and potassium hydroxide.
VInegar has the low ph. Ammonia has the high ph.
pH is a measure of how acidic or basic a solution is on a scale of 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral, lower values indicating acidity, and higher values indicating alkalinity. Basic solutions have a pH greater than 7, and examples include soaps, ammonia, and baking soda.
No, acids have a smaller pH than water. It is usually <6 and pure water has a pH of 7.

It is normal for an alkaline solution to have a pH higher than 7.
pH below 7 is termed acidic. pH of 7 is termed neutral (water). pH above 7 is termed basic or an alkaline.
The pH of an acid is higher than 7.
VInegar has the low ph. Ammonia has the high ph.
A solution with a pH above 7 is considered basic or alkaline. In basic solutions, there are more hydroxide ions (OH-) than hydrogen ions (H+). Examples of basic solutions include soaps, household ammonia, and bleach.

ammonia, milk, baking soda are just a few :) A basic substance has a pH greater than 7. An acidic substance has a pH less than 7. A substance with a pH of 7 is neutral.

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base with the chemical formula NaOH. Ammonia water is usually a solution of NH3 and H2O mixed together to form NH4OH,. This is usually the stuff people clean with and is also a strong base. Ammonia (the gas) is just NH3.
