In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide according to the following equilibrium: . NH 3 + H 2 O ⇌ NH + 4 + OH −.. In a 1 M ammonia solution, about 0.42% of the ammonia is converted to ammonium, equivalent to pH = 11.63 because [NH +
The reaction tolerates heteroatoms and substituents. Cyanopyridines (e.g. 3-cyanopyridine, the precursor to niacin) is produced from methylpyridines. 2-and 4-Chlorotoluene are converted to 2-chlorobenzonitrile and 4-chlorobenzonitrile, respectively. [5] Typical catalysts are the oxides of vanadium and molybdenum.
All other proposed formation reactions have rate constants of between two and 13 orders of magnitude smaller, making their contribution to the abundance of ammonia relatively insignificant. [181] As an example of the minor contribution other formation reactions play, the reaction: H 2 + NH 2 → NH 3 + H. has a rate constant of 2.2 × 10 −15.
Reaction with base produces ammonia. It reacts with sulfates of alkaline-earth metals precipitating their carbonates: + + + + It also reacts with alkali metal halides, giving alkali metal bicarbonate and ammonium halide:
Ammonium carbamate can be formed by the reaction of ammonia NH 3 with carbon dioxide CO 2, and will slowly decompose to those gases at ordinary temperatures and pressures. It is an intermediate in the industrial synthesis of urea (NH 2 ) 2 CO , an important fertilizer .
The overall reaction is the sum of the first equation, 3 times the second equation, and 2 times the last equation; all divided by 2: 2NH 3 + 4O 2 + H 2 O → 3H 2 O + 2HNO 3 (ΔH = −740.6 kJ/mol) Alternatively, if the last step is carried out in the air, the overall reaction is the sum of equation 1, 2 times equation 2, and equation 4; all ...
This is best illustrated by an equilibrium equation. acid + base ⇌ conjugate base + conjugate acid. With an acid, HA, the equation can be written symbolically as: + + + The equilibrium sign, ⇌, is used because the reaction can occur in both forward and backward directions (is reversible).
The reaction between a ketone and ammonia results in an imine and byproduct water. This reaction is water sensitive and thus drying agents such as aluminum chloride or a Dean–Stark apparatus must be employed to remove water. The resulting imine will react and decompose back into the ketone and the ammonia when in the presence of water.
