Question

Some farmers use ammonia, nh3, as a fertilizer. This ammonia is stored in a liquid form. Use the particulate perspective to show the transition from liquid ammonia to gaseous ammonia

Answer 1

As we know that NH3 has a boiling point of −33.34 °C at one atmosphere pressure

therefore

above the −33.34 °C temperature at 1 atm , liquid ammonia will be converted to gaseous ammonia

or

at −33.34 °C temperature and less than 1 atm ( < 1 atm ) , liquid ammonia can be converted to gaseous ammonia.

therefore

the conversion of liquid ammonia can be given as :

NH3 (l) ------------------------------> NH3 (g) at T > −33.34 °C and P = 1 atm

or

NH3 (l) ------------------------------> NH3 (g) at T = −33.34 °C and P < 1 atm
