Answer: Between 8 and 14

Explanation: Ammonia is an inorganic compound of formula NH₃. Also known as ammonium hydroxide, it behaves as a weak base.

pHydrion paper is a chemical test indicator, i.e., it indicates the pH of a substance.

If inserted in Ammonia, pHydrion will indicate a range of 8 to 14 because in pH scale, indication of base is over 8 and up to 14. The exact number depends on the hydrogen ion concentration of the substance.
