Information on liquor ammonia

liquor ammonia is a saturated solution of ammonia in water (due to the reason that ammonia can dissolve very fast in water).liquor ammonia is not liquid ammonia.liquid ammonia is prepared by liquefaction of ammonia under high pressure n low temp

Aqueous Ammonia is produced by dissolving anhydrous ammonia in water . By passing ammonia in water following reaction takes place: NH3(aq)+H2O(l)NH4+(aq)+OH(aq) and its chemical formula is NH4OH. The strength of aqueous ammonia depends on percentage of anhydrous ammonia passed in given water. The strength of an aqueous ammonia solution can be measured in: Percentage (%), Percentage weight/volume (% w/v), Percentage weight/weight of solution (% w/w), Percentage weight/weight of solution(%g/g) and Specific Gravity(S.G).

Specific gravity of aqueous ammonia varies depending on temperature of solution. Specific gravity is measured by Hydrometer and Baumé scale is a pair of hydrometer scales (also noted by degrees Baume, degrees Baumé; B°, Be°, Bé°, Baume). Hydrometer scale shows ratio of the density of the liquid to the density of water.

Aqueous Ammonia also known as ammonia water, ammonia solution, aqua ammonia, ammonium hydroxide, diluted ammonia and in India it is commonly known as liquor ammonia.

Aqueous Ammonia is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor, inheriting water colour and ammonia property. It is an Excellent acid neutralizer and its pH varies with concentration.
