Is NH3(aq) equivalent to NH3(aq) + H2O(l)? or NH3(l) + H2O(l)?
No, NH3(aq) and NH3(l) + H2O(l) are not the same. NH3(aq) refers to ammonia dissolved in water, while NH3(l) + H2O(l) refers to pure liquid ammonia and water separately.
The main difference is that NH3(aq) is a solution, while NH3(l) + H2O(l) is a mixture. In NH3(aq), the ammonia molecules are surrounded by water molecules and are evenly distributed throughout the solution. In NH3(l) + H2O(l), the ammonia and water molecules are not chemically combined and can be physically separated.
No, NH3(aq) and NH3(l) + H2O(l) cannot be used interchangeably. NH3(aq) is typically used in aqueous solutions, while NH3(l) + H2O(l) is used in experiments where pure liquid ammonia is needed.
NH3(aq) is formed when ammonia (NH3) is dissolved in water (H2O). The ammonia molecules are attracted to the polar water molecules and become surrounded by them, forming a solution.
NH3(aq) is a basic solution with a pH above 7, while NH3(l) + H2O(l) has a pH of 7. NH3(aq) is also a good conductor of electricity, while NH3(l) + H2O(l) is not. Additionally, NH3(aq) has a higher boiling point than NH3(l) + H2O(l).
