Ammonia Dissolved In Water Equation

The reaction of ammonia dissolved in water is $NH_ {3} + H_ {2} O\ rightleftharpoons NH_ {3}\ cdot H_ {2} O $. Ammonia, a colorless gas, has an irritating odor. Water is the source of life and a common solvent. When ammonia is dissolved in water, the two combine to form ammonia monohydrate. This reaction is reversible. Under certain conditions, the forward and reverse reaction rates are equal, reaching an equilibrium state.

Ammonia in water, some molecules interact with water molecules to form ammonia monohydrate. Ammonia monohydrate can be partially ionized to form ammonium ions $ (NH_ {4 }^{+})$ and hydroxide ions $ (OH ^{-})$, whose ionization equation is $NH_ {3}\ cdot H_ {2} O\ rightleftharpoons NH_ {4} ^ {+} + OH ^ {-} $. Due to the formation of hydroxide ions, the aqueous solution of ammonia is alkaline.

This reaction has important uses in many fields. In the chemical industry, it can be used to make nitrogen fertilizers and other products; in the laboratory, ammonia aqueous solution is often used as a weak base reagent to participate in various chemical reactions. Its reaction characteristics are the basis of many chemical processes and have far-reaching impact on the chemical industry and scientific research.
