water is neutral. lemon juice and cola are acidic due to the presence of citric acid and carbonic acid respectively. ammonia is basic
the common name of ammonia is more or less ammonia since it not it's chemical name and ammonia is also a baking soda
No, water molecule (H2O) is more polar than ammonia (NH3) because of the greater difference in electronegativity between oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water molecule compared to nitrogen and hydrogen atoms in ammonia molecule. Water has two polar covalent bonds while ammonia has only one.
Ammonia, which is basic, would raise pH. Vinegar, coffee and lemon juice are all acidic and would cause pH to be lower.
Ethanoic acid is a stronger acid in liquid ammonia because ammonia is a weaker base compared to water. Therefore, in liquid ammonia, ethanoic acid easily donates a proton to the ammonia molecules, forming the acetate ion. This proton transfer reaction is more favorable than in water due to the difference in the basicity of the solvent.
Neither is acidic, both are basic. But milk of magnesia is less basic and therefore more acidic.
The difference in Hydrogen ion concentration between pH12 an pH13 is 10 fold. But, no one should consider a solution with a pH of 12 an "acidic solution". Anything above pH 7 is a basic or alkaline solution.
Pure ammonia refers to ammonia that is at least 99.5% pure and is typically used in industrial applications. Household ammonia, on the other hand, is a diluted solution of ammonia in water, usually around 5-10% ammonia. Pure ammonia is more concentrated and can be more hazardous to handle, while household ammonia is safer for household cleaning purposes but may be less effective for industrial uses due to its lower concentration.
An acid is a substance which releases H+ ions when dissolved in water (i.e when in aqueous state). Vinegar is a an acid, with a pH of about 2. On the other hand, ammonia is a weak base, with a pH of about 9.
1 part household ammonia -- NO MORE -- to ten parts water.
Adding ammonia to a mixture will actually make it more basic, not acidic. Ammonia is a weak base that can accept protons, thereby increasing the concentration of hydroxide ions and leading to a higher pH value.
Household bleach has a pH around 12-13, making it basic, while household ammonia has a pH of around 11-12, also making it basic. However, bleach is more alkaline than ammonia, making it a stronger base.

Urine has an acidic pH because it contains waste products like uric acid and ammonia that make it more acidic.
Ammonia is more soluble in water than nitrogen. Ammonia can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, increasing its solubility, whereas nitrogen is a nonpolar molecule and has limited solubility in water.
To make water more acidic, you can add an acidic substance such as vinegar or lemon juice. These substances release hydrogen ions into the water, lowering its pH level and making it more acidic.
