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 is water (H2O) a liquid at room temperature, whereas ammonia (NH3) is a gas at room temperature?

Water and ammonia have different intermolecular forces. Water molecules are held together by hydrogen bonding, which is stronger than the dispersion forces that hold ammonia molecules together. This difference in intermolecular forces results in water being a liquid at room temperature while ammonia is a gas.


Why ammonia gas liquefies?

Ammonia gas liquefies when it is exposed to high pressure and low temperature. By increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature, the ammonia gas molecules come closer together, reducing their kinetic energy and causing them to form a liquid state.


What is the substance used to dry ammonia?

By drying ammonia, I guess you mean ammonia gas.. To dry ammonia gas you pass it through a drying tube of sorts filled with KOH or NaOH pellets. This method is for almost dry gas, if you are getting your ammonia gas from a ammonia/water solution you probably have to predry it with anhydrous sodium sulfate or some other sort of dessicant before you lead it through the KOH/NaOH pellet filled drying tube.


Why ammonia doesnt behave as an ideal gas?

NH3, as in Ammonia, like all real gases, are not ideal. Ideal gases follow the ideal gas laws, but ammonia does not adhere to a few of them. First of all, the volume of its molecules in a container is not negliggible. Next, NH3 molecules have intermolecular hydrogen bonding, which is a strong intermolecular bond. Thus, the forces of attaction between molecules is not neglible. All real gases have a certain degree of an ideal gas, but no real gas is actually ideal, with H2 being the closest to ideal.


Water and ammonia both have low vapor pressures compared to other substances like carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas because of?

their relatively weak intermolecular forces. Water and ammonia molecules are attracted to each other through hydrogen bonding, which requires more energy to break compared to the forces between carbon dioxide or hydrogen gas molecules. This results in lower vapor pressures for water and ammonia.


Is ammonia a solid or a gas?

Ammonia is a gas at room temperature.


What kind of gas do Ammonia factories give you?

Ammonia factories produce the gas ammonia (NH3).


What gases does household ammonia have in it?

Household ammonia primarily consists of water and ammonia gas. Ammonia is a compound made up of nitrogen and hydrogen atoms.


Why NH3 is a liquid and PH3 is a gas?

NH3 (ammonia) is a liquid at room temperature due to intermolecular hydrogen bonding that holds ammonia molecules together. PH3 (phosphine) is a gas at room temperature because its intermolecular forces are weaker, resulting in lower boiling point compared to NH3.


Why is ammonia pyramidal?

Ammonia is pyramidal in shape because of the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom. The lone pair repels the bonding pairs, causing the molecule to adopt a trigonal pyramidal geometry for maximum separation between electron pairs.


What is the colour of ammonia gas?

It is colorless.
