← ScienceWhich outcome happens when ammonia dissolves in water?
A)Hydroxide ion concentration increases✓
B)Ammonium precipitate forms rapidly
C)pH rapidly decreases greatly
D)Salts form by hydration
💡 Explanation
Dissolving ammonia in water results in an increased concentration of hydroxide ions because ammonia acts as a Bronsted-Lowry base, accepting a proton from water via hydration; therefore raising pH, rather than forming precipitates or salts.
