2nd Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Is it possible to obtaining by this method: 2NH3 + NaOH ---> NH4OH + Na Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insane_alien Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 wait, you want to make ammonia(i assume from the thread title) but you want to make it by starting off with ammonia and turning it into something different? what? i really can't make sense of this. what exactly is it that you want to do?

YT2095 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 your reaction would only hold true as Ions, you wouldn`t get sodium Metal though, in reality you would likely end up with sodium amide at best, and at worst just a mixture of the 2 you started with. and btw, it`s not Balanced properly either (where would the extra N go for instance?)

2nd Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 Sorry i mean Ammonia Hydroxide your reaction would only hold true as Ions, you wouldn`t get sodium Metal though Can i separate it away from Ammonia Hydroxide ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 nope, not really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fable Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 2NH3 + NaOH ---> NH4OH + Na would really not work. not just because of the nature of the Na. However this would be alittle closer to the truth, but... NH4NO3 + NaOH <---> NH4OH + NaNO3 . I guess that should be correct if possible, i cant back it up yet.

DrDNA Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 you started with ammonia and you want to make ammonia.....hmmmm.....what????? as far as ammonium hydroxide goes, ammonia in water generates ammonium hydroxide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 Fable, yup ammonium nitrate and sodium hydroxide will indeed make Ammonia gas and sodium nitrate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fable Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 you mean gas like NH3? so like not the NH3OH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 the problem is this: NH3 + H2O = NH4(+) + OH(-) NH4OH doesn`t Really exist, you will get NH3 gas from that reaction OR ammonia solution (depending on temp and pressure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riogho Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 You could get some shmexy ammonium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fable Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 ammonia soulution, thats new for me. must refresh my literature to be up-to-date. thank you. so the solution exist only in lower temp.? is that correct? and if risen would make the ammonia 'pop' out?

2nd Posted December 23, 2007 Author Share Posted December 23, 2007 Can I use electrical cell method Solution of (NH3 + 2HOH) ---> (NH4OH) + H+ (Out on Anode?) I just want to mix NH4OH with KNO3 to get NH4NO3 I didn't find any way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
