Yes, anhydrous ammonia can harm or kill plants if it comes into direct contact with them. Its high nitrogen content can cause severe damage to plant tissues, leading to burning and wilting. Even small amounts can be detrimental, especially to sensitive species. Therefore, it is crucial to handle anhydrous ammonia carefully to avoid unintentional exposure to plants.

What are the dangers of anhydrous ammonia?

Anhydrous ammonia is a highly toxic gas that is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system. Inhalation can cause irritation, difficulty breathing, and potentially death in high concentrations. It is also flammable and can react violently with water, posing explosion hazards.

How does ammonia effect the growth of plants?

Ammonia is a source of nitrogen for plants that can digest it. Many plants cannot digest it directly, by which I mean absorb it and use it in making plant tissue and for similar needs, but many cannot. However, there are many microbes in the soil that can turn ammonia into nitrates and similar chemical compounds that plants can absorb and use. If the ammonia is not very dilute, it will kill most things, including any plant. However, many large-scale agriculturalists use ammonia for fertiliser because it is a very cheap source of nitrogen.

Can calcium oxide dry ammonia?

Yes it can! So can Sodium Hydroxide but not as efficiently as Calcium Oxide as it takes more Sodium Hydroxide than it does Calcium Oxide. If generating you're own Anhydrous Ammonia by mixing Sodium Hydroxide with Ammonia Nitrate the Sodium will replace the Ammonia in the Nitrate freeing the Ammonia as well as producing water. It's best to have this piped through a condenser charge with ice water to condense the water back into the reaction vessel. Than have it passed through a chamber packed with Calcium Oxide to catch any water that isn't condensed yet. Than a cold finger charged with Dry ice and Acetone after this as a last stand against the water. This should than feed into a vessel in a bath of Dry Ice and Acetone where the Anhydrous Ammonia gas will condense into a liquid. From here you can use for a Birch Reaction or store in a cooled or pressurized compatible container. READ SAFETY CONCERNS REGARDING ANHYDROUS AMMONIA BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THIS. IT CAN AND WILL KILL YOU IF PERMITTED. Thank you.


Does ammonia kill germs?

Yes, ammonia has antimicrobial properties and can kill some germs and bacteria. However, it is not effective against all types of germs and may not be suitable for all cleaning purposes. It is important to use ammonia carefully and in well-ventilated areas.


Can ammonia kill people?

Extensive amounts of anything will kill people.Yes, ammonia can kill you. The amount needed will vary depending on 2 factors.1) The concentration of the gas2) The size of the person involved**1) Farmers use a concentrated form of ammonia called Anhydrous ammonia. It is usually stored in white tanks on the farm and it is used as a fertilizer. Exposure can cause a burning sensations to your eyes, nose, mouth and throat. It causes destruction on a cellular level and will cause the person to go into respiratory failure and death. Ammonia that is kept in your home is not as concentrated as what the farmers use, however if ammonia is mixed with bleach (any type) there is a chemical reaction that gives off chlorine gas which is highly toxic. So NEVER mix or use ammonia and bleach together.**2) Obviously children that are exposed to the same amount of ammonia as an adult will have worse reactions, simply because there body is smaller.
