% of ammonia in ethanol

Aldrich sells ammonia in ethanol in a 2M solution.

Does this mean --

There's 34 gms of ammonia in 1L. there's 3.4 gms of ammonia in 100ml. 100 ml of 2M solution is 78.5 gms. 3.4/78.5= .043

So it's a 4.3% solution?

Seems very dilute.

Just posted bullshit as I calculated the ethanol in a 2m solution of ethanol instead of ammonia, sorry.

Yes, it's right.
