Specification
Ammonia or azane is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. The simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colourless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. It is a common nitrogenous waste, particularly among aquatic organisms, and it contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to food and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis of many pharmaceutical products and is used in many commercial cleaning products.
Although common in nature and in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and hazardous in its concentrated form. It is classified as an extremely hazardous substance in the United States, and is subject to strict reporting requirements by facilities which produce, store, or use it in significant quantities.

Usage
lFertilizer- When applied to soil, it helps provide increased yields of crops such as maize and wheat.
lTextile- Liquid ammonia is used for treatment of cotton materials, giving properties like mercerisati on, using alkalis. In particular, it is used for prewashing of wool.
lRefrigeration–It was commonly used prior to the popularisation of chlorofluorocarbons. Anhydrous a mmonia is widely used in industrial refrigeration applications and hockey rinks because of its high
energy efficiency and low cost.
