what are the characteristics of ammonia? Many people may think of "smells like a toilet" first. It's sour. I can't believe _ (: ammonia "∠) _

of course, ammonia has many other properties, such as its solubility in water is very high. An astonishing 700 times the volume of ammonia can be dissolved in 1 volume of water.

this property leads to a classic small experiment-ammonia fountain. As long as the bottle full of ammonia is connected to the water with a pipe, the ammonia will quickly dissolve in the water, causing the pressure in the bottle to drop rapidly, and the water will be pumped back into the bottle and become a fountain. If an acid-base indicator is added, the alkaline solution that dissolves ammonia will also produce a beautiful color.

Blue version:

Aqueous solution changes from yellow to blue because thymol blue indicator is added. Do you remember its discoloration rule? Poke here to review the → dynamic view: the quintuple discoloration of an indicator

and the classic pink version:

here is the addition of phenolphthalein, which has changed from colorless to pink.
