Ammonia engines were used experimentally in the 19th century by Goldsworthy Gurney in the UK and the St. Charles Avenue Streetcar line in New Orleans in the 1870s and 1880s, [95] and during World War II ammonia was used to power buses in Belgium. [96] Ammonia is sometimes proposed as a practical alternative to fossil fuel for internal ...
Ammonia solution, also known as ammonia water, ammonium hydroxide, ammoniacal liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH 3 (aq). Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests a salt with the composition [NH + 4][OH −
Ammonia electrolysis may require much less thermodynamic energy than water electrolysis (only 0.06 V in alkaline media). [23] Another option for recovering ammonia from wastewater is to use the mechanics of the ammonia-water thermal absorption cycle. [24] [25] Ammonia can thus be recovered either as a liquid or as ammonium hydroxide. The ...
used in the industrial production of indigo, hydrazine, and sodium cyanide; [5] used for the drying of ammonia; used as a strong base in organic chemistry Sodium azide gas-forming component in airbag systems; used in organic synthesis to introduce the azide functional group by displacement of halides
Two capsules of smelling salts from a first-aid kit. A thin inner glass tube contains alcohol and ammonia; the outer layer is cotton and netting. When crushed, the liquid is released into the cotton, while the glass shards are retained inside. The ammonia-soaked cotton is waved in front of the nose for the treatment of fainting.
Ammonia is used in its anhydrous form (a gas) and the nitric acid is concentrated. The reaction is violent owing to its highly exothermic nature. After the solution is formed, typically at about 83% concentration, the excess water is evaporated off to leave an ammonium nitrate (AN) content of 95% to 99.9% concentration (AN melt), depending on ...
Ammonia – NH 3 [33] Ammonium azide – [NH 4]N 3 [34] Ammonium bicarbonate – [NH 4]HCO 3 [35] Ammonium bisulfate – [NH 4]HSO 4 [36] Ammonium bromide – NH 4 Br [37] Ammonium chromate – [NH 4] 2 CrO 4 [38] Ammonium cerium(IV) nitrate – [NH 4] 2 [Ce(NO 3) 6] Ammonium cerium(IV) sulfate – [NH 4] 4 [Ce(SO 4) 4] Ammonium chloride ...
Fulminating silver – principally, silver nitride, formed by dissolving silver(I) oxide in ammonia. Very explosive when dry. Fulminating gold – a number of gold based explosives which "fulminate", or detonate easily. – gold hydrazide, formed by adding ammonia to the auric hydroxide. When dry, can explode on concussion.
