Industrial ammonia water is an aqueous solution containing 25% to 28% ammonia. Only a small portion of ammonia molecules in ammonia water reacts with water to form ammonium hydroxide, which is a weak base existing solely in ammonia water. The freezing point of ammonia water is related to its concentration; the commonly used 20% (wt) concentration has a freezing point of approximately -35°C. It generates heat upon neutralization with acids. The specific heat capacity is 4.3×10³ J/kg·℃ (for 10% ammonia water).
