Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. At room temperature, ammonia is a colorless, highly irritating gas with a pungent, suffocating odor.

2. In pure form, it is known as anhydrous ammonia and is hygroscopic (readily absorbs moisture).

3. Ammonia has alkaline properties and is corrosive.

4. Ammonia gas dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide, a caustic solution and weak base.

5. Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear liquid under pressure.

6. Ammonia is usually shipped as a compressed liquid in steel containers.

7. Ammonia is not highly flammable, but containers of ammonia may explode when exposed to high heat.
