Why is ethanoic acid a stronger acid in liquid ammonia than in aqueous solution?
Liquid ammonia is a more polar solvent than water
Is ammonia a solid liquid or gas at 20 degrees Celsius?
Ammonia (NH3) is a (very 'water' soluble) gas
How is ammonia separated from unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen?
When the gases leave the reactor they are hot and at a very high pressure. Ammonia is easily liquefied under pressure as long as it isn't too hot, and so the temperature of the mixture is lowered enough for the ammonia to turn to a liquid. The nitrogen and hydrogen remain as gases even under these high pressures, and can be recycled. Another way is to add the water to the mixture (or pass the mixture from cold water) Ammonia is highly soluble in water but other two gases are not.
What is Ammonias chemical name?
The chemical name for ammonia is ammonia. Shocking but true. Ammonia (which is a gas at room temperature) dissolved in water forms ammonium hydroxide. The solution is sometimes also referred to as ammonia.
What happens when you mix ammonia and lighter fluid?
What most people call "ammonia" is actually a solution of what chemists call ammonia in water. If you mix household ammonia with lighter fluid, they won't mix. Lighter fluid is probably (mostly) butane, which is not exactly miscible with water. I'm not actually positive whether it's miscible with "real" ammonia or not in the liquid state, but I doubt it; ammonia is polar and butane is not.
Why is water (H2O) a liquid at room temperature whereas ammonia (NH3) is a gas at room temperature?
Hydrogen bonding is stronger in water than in ammonia.
Why water has more boiling point than ammonia and hydroflouric?
Water is a liquid at room temperature; ammonia and hydrofluoric acid are gases.
Does fish excretes solid or liquid Ammonia?
A fish actually excretes ammonia dissolved in water. At the temperature and pressure that fish are normally found ammonia is a gas.
Is ammonia solid or liquid or gas?
It can be any of the three phases. Which phase it is depends on what temperature it is at. This is true for almost every compound known to man. At room temperature, ammonia, NH3, is a gas. It becomes a liquid if cooled below -28 degrees F, and will freeze into a solid once below -108 degrees F. Household ammonia is liquid at room temperature; it is a solution of ammonia in water.
Why is water a liquid at room temperature whereas carbon monoxide is a gas at room temperature?
Water exhibits hydrogen bonding
Does ice not melt when kept in liquid ammonia?
Water ice would remain solid in liquid ammonia, because the temperature of the ammonia is well below 0 degrees Celsius, the melting point of ice. At normal atmospheric pressure, ammonia is liquid below minus 33.34 degrees C.
Is water aqueous or liquid?
"Th confusuing thing is . . . ." the previous answer. In chem, H2O is a liquid.
What is mean by Liquid ammonia?
Ammonia gas is highly soluble in water. one ml. of water may absorbed hundreds mls. of ammonia, the concentrated aqueous solution of ammonia is known as liquid ammonia.
What is the core of Neptune?
iron, nickel, and silicates. Its core temperature is approximately 7000ºC.
Does Liquid ammonia have a higher heat capacity than liquid water?
No, water is the record holder.
Chemical formula for liquid ammonia?
Liquid ammonia can refer to: a) Ammonia dissolved in water solution, forming Ammonium hydroxide = NH4OH b) Ammonia condensed to its liquid state = NH3(L) [Write the L in lower case]
How are ammonia and water alike?
They're both liquid.
