  2. Ammonium ions, NH 4 +, react with hydroxide ions to form ammonia and water: NH 4 + (aq) + OH - (aq) NH 3 (g) + H 2 O(l) This gives a test for ammonium ions:

  3. Testing for Ammonia. Ammonia is a gas with a pungent smell that turns damp red litmus paper blue. Hold the litmus paper near the mouth of the test tube. If you are testing for ammonia produced from ammonium ions and sodium hydroxide, avoid touching the sides prevents traces of sodium hydroxide from also turning the red litmus paper blue.

  5. Testing for Gases. What are the General Tests for Ammonia Gas? 1) Ammonia gas, NH 3 (g) has no colour. 2) Ammonia gas has a characteristic pungent smell. 3) Ammonia gas will turn moist litmus paper from red to blue, and moist universal indicator paper to blue. It is alkaline in water, pH = 11·5. 4) Ammonia gas will put out a lit splint.

  6. Testing for ammonia. Ammonia is very soluble in water. Some ammonia reacts with water when it dissolves, forming an alkaline solution: NH 3 (g) + H 2 O (l) ⇌ NH 4+ (aq) + OH – (aq) A colour change is seen when this happens in damp red litmus paper. The symbol ⇌ shows that the reaction is reversible, and does not go to completion.

  7. Test for ammonia. Method: Dip a glass rod in concentrated hydrochloric acid and put this in a sample of the gas. Result: If ammonia is present, a white ‘smoke’ of ammonium chloride is observed....
