Aqueous solution of ammonia consists of

Options

A. `NH_(4)^(+)`
B. `OH^(-)`
C. `H^(+)`
D. `NH_(4)^(+)` and `OH^(-)`

Answer

D

Explanation

Ammonia is highly soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is weakly basic due to the presence of `OH^(-)` ions:
`NH_(3)(g)+H_(2)O(l) hArr NH_(4) OH(aq) hArr NH_(4)^(+)(aq)+OH^(-)(aq)`
