Hey dear,

● Ammonium hydroxide -
- Ammonium hydroxide is a solution of ammonia in water.

● Why the term is misleading -
- Ammonia when dissolved in water forms ammonium hydroxide which again dissociates to ammonium ion and hydroxyl ion.
NH3 + H20 <--> NH4OH <--> NH4+ + OH-
- All these entities exist at same time but we can't separate them. Therefore this term is misleading.

● Alternate names -
- Ammonia solution
- ammonia water
- ammoniacal liquor
- aqueous ammonia


Hope this helps you ...
