What can ammonia be neutralised with?
HNO₃ - Nitric acid
What does ammonia make when it’s dissolved in water?
An alkaline solution
What happens when ammonia reacts with nitric acid?
You get a neutral salt - ammonium nitrate
What is the symbol and word equation for the reaction between ammonia and nitric acid?
NH₃ (aq) + HNO₃ (aq) -> NH₄NO₃ (aq)
Ammonia + Nitric acid -> Ammonium nitrate (NO WATER!!!!)
Why is Ammonium nitrate a good fertiliser?
It has nitrogen from 2 sources, the ammonia and the nitric acid. Plants need nitrogen to make proteins
