Knock Out Household Ammonia, 500 ml

Product Information

For fundamental reasons, the production of ammonia from the elements hydrogen and nitrogen is difficult, requiring high pressures and high temperatures. The Haber process that enabled industrial production was invented at the beginning of the 20th century, revolutionizing agriculture. Use in the laundry for regular stains: Soak stubborn stains on cotton, polyester, or nylon fabrics with a solution of 2/3 cup clear ammonia, 2/3 cup dish soap, 6 tablespoons of baking soda, and 2 cups warm water. Let it soak for about 30 minutes, then launder as usual. Never use ammonia on wool or silk. Never mix with bleach.

When storing ammonia-based products, keep them separate from other chemicals and away from heat and ignition sources such as ovens, microwaves, and furnaces.

Table of thermal and physical properties of ammonia ( NH 3) at atmospheric pressure: [26] [27] Temperature (K) Due to its attributes, being liquid at ambient temperature under its own vapour pressure and having high volumetric and gravimetric energy density, ammonia is considered a suitable carrier for hydrogen, [115] and may be cheaper than direct transport of liquid hydrogen. [116] Refrigeration – R717 [ edit ] This powerful, multi-purpose cleaner effectively degreases and remove stains from ovens, surfaces, windows and more.Additional uses include as a refrigerant, stabilizer, neutralizer, and purifier — particularly in food transport and water treatment applications. It can also be used in the manufacture of plastics, explosives, fabrics, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. Pour the ammonia into the stream of water. Slowly pour out the ammonia so that there is more water than ammonia going down the sink. This ensures that it’s thoroughly diluted as it goes down the sink. [3] X Research source

Ammonia forms 1:1 adducts with a variety of Lewis acids such as I 2, phenol, and Al(CH 3) 3. Ammonia is a hard base (HSAB theory) and its E & C parameters are E B = 2.31 and C B = 2.04. Its relative donor strength toward a series of acids, versus other Lewis bases, can be illustrated by C-B plots.Ammonia is also found throughout the Solar System on Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, among other places: on smaller, icy bodies such as Pluto, ammonia can act as a geologically important antifreeze, as a mixture of water and ammonia can have a melting point as low as −100°C (−148°F; 173K) if the ammonia concentration is high enough and thus allow such bodies to retain internal oceans and active geology at a far lower temperature than would be possible with water alone. [22] [23] Substances containing ammonia, or those that are similar to it, are called ammoniacal. Next, mix a 50:50 solution of ammonia and water in a bowl, and apply it to any visibly dark spots with a sponge.

Yet, it is gentler than bleach and safe to use on most fabrics when diluted, with the exception of wool, silk and lycra. Which type of ammonia is best for clothes?

Structure [ edit ] Molecular structure of ammonia and its three-dimensional shape. It has a net dipole moment of 1.484D Structure of Ammonia Oven cleaning formula: To clean your electric oven with ammonia, warm the oven to 150 degrees Fahrenheit while boiling a pot of water. Open the windows to ventilate the area. Put 1/2 cup of ammonia into an oven-safe, non-reactive bowl on the top shelf and put the container of boiling water on the shelf beneath it. Shut the door and let it sit for 8 to 12 hours. After the time has elapsed, open the oven door and let it ventilate for an hour before using a sponge, warm water, and dish soap to wipe away the loosened food particles. If you must use this method on your gas oven, make sure that the pilot light and gas lines are turned off. What if you already have ammonia-based products in the house that you don’t want to waste? Or maybe you have to use an ammonia-based product as a requirement for work? Don’t panic. There are ways to use ammonia cleaning products safely. The range of thermodynamic stability of liquid ammonia solutions is very narrow, as the potential for oxidation to dinitrogen, E° ( N 2 + 6 [NH 4] + + 6 e − ⇌ 8 NH 3), is only +0.04V. In practice, both oxidation to dinitrogen and reduction to dihydrogen are slow. This is particularly true of reducing solutions: the solutions of the alkali metals mentioned above are stable for several days, slowly decomposing to the metal amide and dihydrogen. Most studies involving liquid ammonia solutions are done in reducing conditions; although oxidation of liquid ammonia is usually slow, there is still a risk of explosion, particularly if transition metal ions are present as possible catalysts. Let the solution sit for a few hours or, if you can, overnight. This will allow the ammonia to break down the grease and grime.
