Is ammonia NH3 a greenhouse gas?

Yes, ammonia (NH3) is considered a greenhouse gas. While it is less potent than gases like carbon dioxide or methane, it can still contribute to the greenhouse effect and global warming when present in the atmosphere.


What is co2 equivalent of ammonia as greenhouse gas?

Ammonia, as many other gases, contributes to the "greenhouse effect". The mayor gas known to increase global warming through the greenhouse effect is CO2 (carbon dioxide), and to compare the potential of any given gas to the greenhouse effect, an equivalency is often used. This equivalency comes from the fact that a metric ton of CO2 pollutes the environment; so a metric ton of methane contribute to the greenhouse effect as much as 25 metric tons of CO2 would contribute. So, 1 metric ton of ammonia do as much damage to the planet as "CO2 equivalent of ammonia" metric tons of CO2.


Common name of ammonia?

the common name of ammonia is more or less ammonia since it not it's chemical name and ammonia is also a baking soda


Why do Solution of ammonia turns red litmus paper blue while dry ammonia gas has no action on litmus paper?

Ammonia solution is a basic solution and turns red litmus paper blue because it reacts with the water in the solution to form ammonium hydroxide, which is alkaline. Dry ammonia gas has no effect on litmus paper because it does not contain water to form ammonium hydroxide, which is responsible for the color change of the litmus paper.


What is the solute and solvent in household ammonia?

Ammonia is the solute and the solvent is the water.

Will Ammonina disssolve styrofoam?

Oh, dude, Ammonia can totally dissolve styrofoam because it's like super reactive with the polystyrene in it. It causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the styrofoam into smaller pieces. So, yeah, if you ever need to get rid of some styrofoam, just pour some ammonia on it and watch the magic happen.

How do ammonia absorption refrigerators work to cool food and beverages efficiently?

Ammonia absorption refrigerators work by using a combination of ammonia, water, and hydrogen gas to create a cooling effect. The process starts with ammonia evaporating in one part of the system, absorbing heat and cooling the surrounding area. The ammonia gas then travels to another part of the system where it is absorbed by water, releasing the heat and returning to a liquid state. This cycle continues, with the ammonia gas being absorbed and released, creating a continuous cooling effect that efficiently cools food and beverages.


What effect does aqueous ammonia have on red litmus paper?

Aqueous ammonia turns red litmus paper blue because ammonia is a base and reacts with the red litmus to change its color to blue. This is because the ammonia accepts a proton from the litmus paper, causing the change in color.
