2.Explain why ammonia solution is alkaline in nature..

faltu answers are strictly prohibited!!​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.Carbon dioxide extinguishes work by displacing oxygen, or taking away the oxygen element of the fire triangle. The carbon dioxide is also very cold as it comes out of the extinguisher, so it cools the fuel as well.

2.Ammonia is a weak base and takes a hydrogen ion from a water molecule to produce ammonium ions and hydroxide ions. ... The presence of the hydroxide ions from this reaction makes the solution alkaline.
