Ammonium Hydroxide – (NH₄OH)

Ammonium Hydroxide, also known as Aqueous Ammonia or Ammonia Water, is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic strong, pungent ammonia odor. It is classified as a weak base due to the equilibrium that exists in water, where only a small fraction of the ammonia forms the ammonium and hydroxide ions. It is an extremely effective, streak-free cleaning agent (especially for glass) and a vital industrial chemical used as a pH regulator and a source of nitrogen in fertilizers and chemical synthesis.

Product Description

Ammonium Hydroxide is the commercial and common designation for a solution formed when gaseous ammonia is dissolved in water. While the formula is convenient for chemical accounting, the substance largely exists as a dynamic equilibrium between water, ammonia gas, ammonium ions, and hydroxide ions. Concentration varies, but household cleaning ammonia is typically, while industrial/lab solutions can range up to by mass.
