Type in the content of your new page here. Ammonia is a chemical containing one Nitrogen atom and three Hydrogen atoms. The founder of the chemical formula for ammonia is Claude-Louis Berthollet. The main use for ammonia is an ingredient in a fertilizer that sanitizes many foods. The Haber-Bosch process started to be used during WW1 to create these fertilizers and is still used today. This process was created by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch in 1909. Ammonia is also abundant in certain fish farming systems. Ammonia is a colorless, odorless chemical compound that usually builds up in an aquaculture system. This compound can cause a decrease in production and population of sea animals, and an increase of many various diseases. The only way to detect whether ammonia is in a system is by testing for it. To test for ammonia fish farmers usually use water test kits. These test kits only measure the Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN). When this test is positive, producers can determine the fraction of toxic unionized ammonia (UIA) if the pH and temperature are also measured. When ammonia is present, food should not be added to the system until the problem is corrected. If the aquaculture system is small than a simple water change will work however, if the system is of a significant size than powerful fertilizers need to be used. By testing for ammonia on a regular basis, most chemical problems can be taken care of. Therefore sanitizing and cleaning can occur before fish start to die. Once fish have started to die, it is difficult to correct an ammonia problem without losing more fish.

The steps for producing Ammonia: Ammonia has many uses that contribute to our everyday lives. One of these uses is an ingredient in a food fertilizer created during World War I. Ammonia is also put with chlorine into water to sanitize and clean it. Ammonia is known for its sanitizing, germ-killing qualities which is why it is used in many common house hold cleaning detergents. Ammonia also may be used in refrigerators because of its thermodynamic properties. Although ammonia has many good purposes it also has many dangerous ones. For example in the 1960s ammonia was being put into cigarettes. This is due to the fact that ammonia will increase the level of nicotine that is causes addiction to a smoker. Ammonia was also a main ingredient in other drugs such as cocaine. The main purpose was to create more of an addiction to the user. In conclusion, even though ammonia has some dangerous characteristics overall it is a helpful and important chemical compound and reaction.
 * 1) H2 + RSH → RH + H2S (// g //). First sulfur needs to be taken from the feedstock. This is because the element sulfur will prevent the later steps from occurring.
 * 2) H2S + ZnO → ZnS + H2O. Next the Hydrogen is removed by passing through zinc oxide. After this happens the compound is now zinc sulfide.
 * 3) CH4 + H2O → CO + 3 H2. Next the compound is put under a process called steam reforming. This is used to form hydrogen plus carbon monoxide.
 * 4) CO + H2O → CO2 + H2In the next step more hydrogen needs to be produced. To do this a reaction called the gas shift reaction needs to occur. CO + H2O → CO2 + H2
 * 5) Next the carbon dioxide is removed by absorption.
 * 6) 3 H2 + N2 → 2 NH3 Last use the Haber-Bosch process by the hydrogen reacting with nitrogen to get the desired liquid.
