Ammonium hydroxide, also called Aqua Ammonia, solution of ammonia gas in water, a common commercial form of ammonia. It is a colourless liquid with a strong characteristic odour. In concentrated form, ammonium hydroxide can cause burns on contact with the skin; ordinary household ammonia, used as a cleanser, is dilute ammonium hydroxide.

Ammonium Hydroxide Chemical Properties
Chemical formula: NH4OH
Molar mass: 35.04 g/mol-1
Density: 0.91 g/mL-1
Melting point: -57.5℃
Boiling point: 37℃
Appearance: Colorless liquid
Odor: Highly pungent
Solubility in water: Highly soluble
Storage
Ammonium Hydroxide should be stored in a closed container and kept cool, otherwise, the ammonia gas will come out of solution and the material strength will be reduced.
Properties of Ammonium Hydroxide
Alkalinity
It is a strong base with a pH typically ranging from 11 to 13, depending on the concentration. The high alkalinity makes it useful as a cleaning agent and for pH adjustment .
Volatility
Ammonium hydroxide is volatile, meaning it readily releases ammonia gas, giving it a characteristic pungent odor .
Solubility
It is highly soluble in water and can act as a solvent for various organic and inorganic compounds .
Reactivity
Ammonium hydroxide reacts with acids to form ammonium salts, and it can also act as a nucleophile in organic synthesis reactions .
Applications of Ammonium Hydroxide
Common Applications
Chemical Processing: Used as a hydroxide compound in modified treatment compositions for natural gas processing, due to its high vapor pressure providing more effect on the gas compared to other hydroxides
Cleaning Solutions: Used in cleaning solutions for steam generating systems to remove deposits like oxides, hydroxides, and complex sludges, alone or combined with organic acids, chelants, corrosion inhibitors, etc. It promotes effective cleaning while minimizing damage to metallic surfaces
Synthesis: Used as a reagent for synthesizing quaternary ammonium hydroxides, taking advantage of its water insolubility to isolate the product by precipitation
Other Applications
Vaccine Adjuvant: It is used as an adjuvant in vaccines to enhance the immune response
Antacid: It has also served as an antacid.
Biocide Formation: Its solutions can be used for biocide formation
Urea Synthesis: Its solutions are useful in urea synthesis
