Answer:

Ammonia is easily made in the laboratory by heating an ammonium salt, such as ammonium chloride NH4Cl with a strong alkali, such as sodium hydroxide or calcium hydroxide.

The gas may also be made by warming concentrated ammonium hydroxide.

Step-by-step explanation:

2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2 → CaCl2 + 2H2O + 2NH3(g)
