Question

Aqueous solution of ammonia consists of ______ and ______ ions.

Answer 1

Aqueous solution of ammonia consists of ammonium and hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

When ammonia gas (NH₃) is dissolved in water, it undergoes a reversible chemical reaction to form ammonium hydroxide (NH₄OH). Because it is a weak base, it partially dissociates into mobile ammonium ions (\[\ce{NH^+_4}\]) and hydroxide ions (OH⁻). These free-moving ions make the solution basic and allow it to conduct electricity.
