About Ammonia Solution

In aqueous solution, ammonia deprotonates a small fraction of the water to give ammonium and hydroxide. In contrast to anhydrous ammonia, aqueous ammonia finds few non-niche uses outside of cleaning agents.


In laboratory, Aqueous ammonia is used in traditional qualitative inorganic analysis as a complexant and base. Diluted (1–3%) ammonia is also an ingredient of numerous cleaning agents, including many window cleaning formulas.
