"Its a solution of ammonia in water."

No, it's not.

On warming a solution of ammonium nitrate with calcium hydroxide I would expect to get ammonia, but with reasonable concentrations of ammonia solution and calcium nitrate I would expect a precipitate of calcium hydroxide.

It's certainly an equilibrium reactions so it could go either way depending on the conditions.

Hi John,

 

So, are you saying that Calcium hydroxide is partly soluble?

 

If not, then it cannot be a equilibrium reaction i.e go wither way...this is my understanding.
