NH4re

NH4re is a chemical symbol that represents the ammonium cation when it is bonded to a hydroxide anion. This ionic compound is commonly known as ammonium hydroxide. It is a weak base and is formed when ammonia gas dissolves in water. The chemical formula for ammonium hydroxide is NH4OH. While the formula NH4OH is often used, it is important to note that in aqueous solution, ammonium hydroxide exists in equilibrium with ammonia and water: NH3(aq) + H2O(l) <=> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq). Therefore, NH4OH is often considered a shorthand representation for an aqueous solution of ammonia. Ammonium hydroxide is used in various applications, including cleaning products, fertilizers, and in the synthesis of other chemicals. It is a corrosive substance and can cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system.
