  2. Ammonia solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_solution

    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−], it is actually ...

  3. Haber process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haber_process

    The Haber process, [1] also called the Haber–Bosch process, is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia. [2][3] It converts atmospheric nitrogen (N 2) to ammonia (NH 3) by a reaction with hydrogen (H 2) using a finely divided iron metal catalyst: This reaction is slightly favorable in terms of enthalpy, but is disfavored in ...

  4. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    H2NCH2CH2OH → NH3 + CH3CHO. Ammonia is both a metabolic waste and a metabolic input throughout the biosphere. It is an important source of nitrogen for living systems. Although atmospheric nitrogen abounds (more than 75%), few living creatures are capable of using atmospheric nitrogen in its diatomic form, N2 gas.

  5. Ammonium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonium

    Infobox references. Ammonium is a modified form of ammonia that has an extra hydrogen atom. It is a positively charged (cationic) molecular ion with the chemical formula NH+ 4 or [NH4]+. It is formed by the addition of a proton (a hydrogen nucleus) to ammonia (NH3).

  6. Selective catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_catalytic_reduction

    Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) means of converting nitrogen oxides, also referred to as NO x with the aid of a catalyst into diatomic nitrogen (N 2), and water (H 2 O). A reductant, typically anhydrous ammonia (NH 3), aqueous ammonia (NH 4 OH), or a urea (CO(NH 2) 2) solution, is added to a stream of flue or exhaust gas and is reacted onto ...

  7. Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brønsted–Lowry_acid...

    t. e. The Brønsted–Lowry theory (also called proton theory of acids and bases[1]) is an acid–base reaction theory which was first developed by Johannes Nicolaus Brønsted and Thomas Martin Lowry independently in 1923. [2][3] The basic concept of this theory is that when an acid and a base react with each other, the acid forms its conjugate ...

  8. Ostwald process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostwald_process

    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 ...

  9. Ammonia borane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_borane

    The B−H and N−H distances are 1.15 and 0.96 Å, respectively. Its similarity to ethane is tenuous since ammonia borane is a solid and ethane is a gas: their melting points differing by 284 °C. This difference is consistent with the highly polar nature of ammonia borane.
