questions about ammonia
« on: February 25, 2005, 07:40:04 AM »
I need to do a research task about ammonia and I am stuck on a few questions.
- Why is ammonia used in cleaners? (I've done some research on the internet, but all I'm finding is why ammonia is or is not dangerous. I cannot find "why" it is used)
- Explain the chemistry involved in determining the concentration of ammonia.
- Evaluate one procedure that replaces titrations.

I hope you guys can help me out on those questions. It will be very much appreciated!
Thankyou  :bigwink:

Ammonia is very basic, and bases are useful for cleaning things.
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
