Ammonia is a compound of hydrogen and nitrogen, with formula NH3. Under normal circumstances it is a very toxic gas. It is a common precursor for many chemical products, particularly fertilizers and explosives. What you buy in the store as "ammonia" is a very dilute solution of ammonia in water. When dissolved in water, it forms a very alkaline solution (it is actually ammonium hydroxide, NH4OH) that is an excellent solvent for non-polar molecules like oils. It doesn't leave a residue behind, since both the components can evaporate completely. That's what makes it such a good glass cleaner.

What is the percent of ammonia in anhydrous ammonia?
99.95%(pure ammonia) or better is Refridgeration grade ammonia.
What is the difference between anydrous ammonia and aqueous ammonia?
Anhydrous ammonia is pure ammonia. Under normal conditions it is a gas, but it is usually stored as a liquid under pressure. Aqueous ammonia is ammonia dissolved in water. Household ammonia is a 3% solution of aqueous ammonia.
What is ammonia D?
It is regular old ammonia -- NH3. "Ammonia-D" is a trademarked name for ammonia in Windex.
Does freezing ammonia destroy its properties?
No. Frozen ammonia is still ammonia.
Why is ammonia good?
Generally ammonia is a gas. There are many uses with ammonia.
Where and how toxic ammonia converted into non toxic ammonia?
Ammonia is ammonia and ammonia is toxic. Non-toxic ammonia does not exist. Ammonia can be diluted in water or held in a sealed container, but it's still toxic.

Is Ammonia heterogeneous or homogeneous mixtures?
Ammonia is a compound, not a mixture. Household ammonia is a homogeneous mixture of ammonia and water.
Is ammonia a salt a base or an acid?
Ammonia is a (Lewis) base.Ammonium hydroxide (not ammonia) is a base.Ammonium hydroxide: NH4OH (ammonia gas dissolved in water)Ammonia: NH3

What is house ammonia?
Houshold ammonia is a solution of ammonia (3%) dissolved in water.
Is Parson's ammonia straight or is it a percent of ammonia?
Ammonia is a gas - it can't be "straight".
