Ammonia NH3, also known as Ammonia, is a gas that easily has a pungent odor, is colorless and toxic, lighter than air, has a weak alkalinity, a low boiling point, is highly soluble in water, and is easily liquefied. At high temperatures in Chemicalbook, it decomposes into nitrogen and hydrogen, which have a reducing effect. It can be directly synthesized from nitrogen and hydrogen. It is often used in industry to produce liquid nitrogen, ammonia, nitric acid, ammonium salts, and amines.
