Question

Rohini uses a solution of ammonia and water to clean tiles in the kitchen what would happen to the cleaning action of vinegar is used in place of water?​

Answer 1

If the cleaning action of vinegar is used instead of water, then the ammonia won't function because of neutralization.

• The ammonia disassociates to its ion format in water and hence a solution of ammonia in water can be used to clean tiles in the kitchen.

• However, if ammonia is dissolved in vinegar instead of water, then the ammonia will not be able to function as neutralization reaction will occur. No ions will be formed
