Ammonia solution, also known as ammonia water, ammonium hydroxide, ammoniacal liquor, ammonia liquor, aqua ammonia, aqueous ammonia, or (inaccurately) ammonia, is a solution of ammonia in water. It can be denoted by the symbols NH3(aq). Although the name ammonium hydroxide suggests an alkali with the composition [NH+
4
][OH
]
, it is actually impossible to isolate samples of NH4OH. The ions NH+
4
and OH do not account for a significant fraction of the total amount of ammonia except in extremely dilute solutions.
