What can i do with ammonia?
Before you start to think about what you can do with ammonia you first have to understand that ammonia is not a toy but that it is a powerful and dangerous chemical, so just remember to always be careful when using it. Always wear rubber gloves and goggles.
If you are interested in using ammonia you can try this experiment which shows how to make nitrogen tri-iodide.
Follow these steps:
Firstly if you are a child trying to attempt this, get an adult to work with you to just keep everything safe because we wouldn't want you to blow your hand off. In this experiment you are mixing the liquid ammonia with solid iodine crystals and grinding the crystals to make a wet paste. Once the crystals have been ground into a paste you spread the mixture out thinly to dry. The paste is now nitrogen tri-iodide, and when it is dry it explodes on touch. Watch the video to see how to conduct this experiment.
