Does vinegar break the molecular bonds of ammonia?

Community Answer

Vinegar will neutralize ammonia while getting rid of the smell. Since vinegar is inexpensive, many people use the versatile liquid to clean their homes from top to bottom. To remove the ammonia odour, blot or spray the area with pure, undiluted white vinegar.

Anhydrous ammonia is a hazardous substance, and dealing with its odor or leaks requires specialized equipment and safety precautions. If you suspect a leak or exposure to anhydrous ammonia gas, leave the area immediately, seek fresh air, and contact emergency services or a hazardous materials response team for proper handling and ventilation. It's crucial to prioritize safety when dealing with hazardous chemicals like anhydrous ammonia.
