Elite Engineer Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 What would happen if you were to boil lets say a 1 liter solution of pure ammonia? Would it just become ammonia gas, or would the hydrogen bonds eventually break yielding gaseous hydrogen and nitrogen. (I'm trying to find a reltatively cheap way to obtain pure hydrogen gas without utilizing electrohydrolysis). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 You need to get it rather hotter than boiling and you need a catalyst. https://www.crystec.com/kllhyame.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elite Engineer Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 wow 920 degrees Celsius! Looks as though electrohydrolysis is the better choice. Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enthalpy Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 The cheap and practical way to hydrogen gas is to buy it in a bottle. You noticed ammonia is a nasty poison, didn't you? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elementcollector1 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Depends on the concentration. Anyway, if you want hydrogen, electrolysis is the easiest way to go about it. Use sulfuric acid or an equivalent sulfate for the electrolyte, and capture the gas somewhere. Incidentally, what kind of catalyst would work to split ammonia? I feel like making some nitrogen.
