Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. Ammonia is a stable binary hydride.
Ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristically pungent smell. It is lighter than air, its density being 0.589 times that of air. It is easily liquefied due to the strong hydrogen bonding between molecules.
Uses:
Liquid ammonia is the best-known and most widely studied nonaqueous ionising solvent.
Ammonia is directly or indirectly the precursor to nitrogen-containing compounds like Nitric acid. Nitric acid is used for the production of fertilizers, explosives, and many organonitrogen compounds. Ammonia is also used to make the following compounds.
Hydrazine, Hydrogen cyanide, Hydroxylamine and ammonium carbonate, Phenol, Urea, Amino acids. Acrylonitrile. Ammonia can also be used to make compounds in reactions which are not specifically named. Examples of such compounds include: ammonium perchlorate, ammonium nitrate, formamide, dinitrogen tetroxide, alprazolam, ethanolamine, ethyl carbamate, hexamethylenetetramine, and ammonium bicarbonate.
Questions? You’re covered.
Aqueous ammonia is commonly used in agriculture as a source of nitrogen fertilizer. It provides readily available nitrogen for plant uptake, promoting growth, yield, and protein synthesis in crops. Ammonia is applied to soil or crops through injection, broadcasting, or fertigation methods.
Aqueous ammonia offers environmental benefits such as efficient nitrogen utilization by plants and reduced nitrogen runoff compared to other nitrogen fertilizers. However, challenges include the potential for nitrogen leaching into groundwater, ammonia volatilization, and nitrous oxide emissions if not applied correctly or at excessive rates.
Aqueous ammonia is a hazardous chemical and should be handled with care to prevent exposure and accidents. Safety precautions include using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), ensuring adequate ventilation in storage and handling areas, and following proper storage and handling procedures to minimize the risk of spills and releases.
