Chemical Designations - Synonyms Ammonia Water, Aqueous Ammonia, Household Ammonia Chemical Formula NH OH—HjO. 

Household ammonia used for cleaning contains about 10 g (two significant figures) of NH3 in 100 mL (two significant figures) of solution. What is the molarity of the NH3 in solution ... 

The pH of a household ammonia cleaning solution is 11.68. How many grams of ammonia are needed in a 1.25-L solution to give the same pH ... 

Household ammonia should never be mixed with chlorine bleach, because a redox reaction occurs that generates toxic chlorine gas and hydrazine NH3 + OCl —> CI2 + N2 H4 (unbalanced) Balance this equation. 

Household ammonia is the most common weak base. It ionizes as follows ... 

Potassium Hydroxide (caustic potash) will work on certain chemicals and biological agents. Remarks under sodium hydroxide apply across the board to potassium hydroxide. Ammonia or Ammonium Hydroxide (household ammonia) can be used to decontaminate G nerve agents but takes longer than sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. SCBA or a special purpose mask is required when working with this product. Ammonium hydroxide needs no further mixing it is a water solution of ammonia. 

Use a grease pencil or masking tape to label each of five small plastic cups. Use A for distilled water, B for ethanol, C for isopropyl alcohol, D for acetone, and E for household ammonia. 

Thinking Critically Household ammonia is a mixture of ammonia and water. Based on the data you collected, is there more ammonia or more water in the mixture Use what you learned about the relative strengths of the attractive forces in ammonia and water to support your conclusion. 

An aqueous solution of household ammonia has a molar concentration of 0.105 mol/L. Calculate the pH of the solution. 

Some toxic effects are reversible. Everyone has been exposed to some agent, household ammonia for example, that produces irritation to the skin or eyes. Exposure ends and, sometimes perhaps with a delay, the irritation ends. Some readers have no doubt been poisoned on occasion by the ingestion of too much alcohol. The effects here also reverse. The time necessary for reversal can vary greatly depending upon the severity of the intoxication and certain physiological features of the person intoxicated. But most people also realize that chronic alcohol abuse can lead to a serious liver disorder, cirrhosis, which may not reverse even if alcohol intake ceases. This type of effect is irreversible or only very slowly reversible. It is important in making a toxicological evaluation to understand whether effects are reversible or irreversible, because one is obviously much more serious than the other. 

What is the hydroxide ion concentration in a diluted solution of household ammonia that contains 0.34 mol of NH3 per liter ... 

Ammonia is used in the production of several chemicals to make nylon adipic acid, hexa-methylene diamine, and caprolactam. It is used to treat metals in annealing, nitriding, and descaling. Ammonia is an excellent fungicide that is used to treat citric fruit. It is also used to increase the nitrogen content of crops used as feed for livestock. Ammonia dissolves readily in water to produce aqueous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide NH + 2 < > NH4+(a(i) + OH (ahydroxide ions shows that ammonia acts as a base in aqueous solution. Concentrated aqueous solutions contain 35% ammonia. Household ammonia cleaners contain between 5% and 10% ammonia. 

SIMPLEST WAY OF PRODUCING AMMONIA IS TO GET IT FROM ITS SOLUTION AS HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA. 

FILL PINT CAN ONE QUARTER FULL OF HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA. FIT STOPPER WITH 6" GLASS TUBE IN OPENING. PLACE TEST TUBE OVER GLASS TUBE. HEAT CAN OVER LOW FLAME. TEST TUBE IS FULL OF AMMONIA WHEN MOIST, RED LITMUS PAPER HELD AT ITS MOUTH TURNS BLUE. 

Have a bottle of diluted household ammonia (90% water, 10% household ammonia) on hand. Sniff this if you get too strong a whiff of chlorine. 

FOR A TRY AT TITRATION, MIX A FEW ml OF HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA WITH 40 ml WATER. ADD A DROP OF PHENOLPHTHALEIN. THIS WILL COLOR THE MIXTURE A DEEP PINK. 

ADD HOUSEHOLD AMMONIA. THE YEL-TEST CHEESE, WOOL, CHICKEN, LOW ALBUMIN TURNS LIMA BEANS THE SAME WAY. BRIGHT ORANGE. 

AMMONIUM HYDROXIDE NH,OH + 1I20 10% solution household ammonia 27% solution strong ammonia Grocery Drug store... 

You have perhaps heard that household cleaners should never be mixed because exothermic reactions may occur or dangerous products may form. The formation of hydrazine on mixing household ammonia and hypochlorite-containing chlorine bleaches is a case in point. 

Place 1 mL of household ammonia in a test tube (100 X 13 mm). Hold a piece of dry red litmus paper over the mouth of the test tube (be careful not to touch the glass with the paper). Record your observation (3). Moisten the red litmus paper with distilled water and hold it over the mouth of the test tube. Record your observation (4). 

We frequently encounter acids and bases in our daily life. Fruits, such as oranges, apples, etc., contain acids. Household ammonia, a cleaning agent, and Liquid Plumber are bases. Acids are compounds that can donate a proton (hydrogen ion). Bases are compounds that can accept a proton. This classification system was proposed simultaneously by Johannes Brensted and Thomas Lowry in 1923, and it is known as the Brensted-Lowry theory. Thus any proton donor is an acid, and a proton acceptor is a base. 

Household ammonia, liquid window cleaners, liquid all-purpose cleaners and various other household cleaning products constitute this small market for ammonia. Ammonia is also used in the manufacture of ammonium salts of alcohol, ether and sulfates. These compounds are widely used as surfactants in detergents that are in liquid dishwashing formulations57. 

Household ammonia has a hydroxide ion concentration of 7.9 X 10-3 M. Calculate the pH of household ammonia. 

Summary Anhydrous ammonia can be prepared by treating an ammonium salt with a warm solution of sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide. In the following procedure, the ammonium salt is either ammonium chloride or ammonium sulfate, which are first prepared by reaction of household ammonia with the corresponding acid. Thereafter, the resulting ammonium salt is then treated with sodium hydroxide, or potassium hydroxide to yield ammonia gas, which is then dried to yield the anhydrous gas.
