Ammonia gas from ammonium sulfate??
Hello all,
Have been reading references that suggest ammonia gas can be created by mixing ammonium chloride and sodium hydroxide. Ammonia gas, water and sodium
chloride are produced.
Just wondering if ammonium sulfate could be used instead of the chloride. I can't see why not (should produce water, NH3 and sodium sulfate),
but just wanted to check that no other funny compounds would form to contaminate the NH3.
Thanks.

Yes works. NH3 produced is not anhydrous though. To produce anhydrous NH3 just heat urea.

Dry it....
Couldn't the NH3 be dried by passing through a tube of NaOH?

I believe that the standard drying material here is CaO with NaOH. So yes, it should work.
