Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium hydroxide mostly acts as a reactant. Ammonium hydroxide is a colorless solution and exists only in solution form. It has a strong and pungent odor. It reacts with sulfuric acid and also many other strong acids. This reaction is exothermic which releases huge amount of heat or energy.

Ammonia water when in contact with volatile compounds, forms fumes. Ammonium hydroxide dissolves copper and zinc. It produces ammonia and nitroxides when heated to decomposition.
