Question

A saturated solution of ammonia in water having a specific gravity of 0.88 is called

• A. Liquid ammonia
• B. Liquor ammonia
• C. Liquor ammonia fortis
• D. Liquid ammonia fortis

Answer 1

The correct option is C

Liquor ammonia fortis

Explanation for correct answer:

• The saturated solution of ammonia is called liquor ammonia fortis.
• It has the chemical formula of $N{H}_{4}OH$.
• Hence, option (c) is correct.

Explanation for incorrect answer:

The specific gravity of liquid ammonia is $0.604gms$.
The specific gravity of liquor ammonia is $0.905gms$.
There is no compound called liquid ammonia fortis.
Hence, options (a), (b) and (d) are incorrect.

A saturated solution of ammonia in water having a specific gravity of$0.88$ is called liquor ammonia fortis; hence option (c) is correct.
