dry ammonia gas has no action on litmus paper , but a solution of ammonia in water turns red litmus paper blue . why is it so?

Answers

Answered by rohitkumar6470

NH3 is basic in nature,but litmus paperneeds ions to change its color. ... On the other hand when NH3 reacts with water,NH4OH(ammonium hydroxide) is formed which is a base and it contains NH4+ ion and OH- ion. Since basic ion is present,hence it changes the red litmus paper blue.
