R717, Spirit of Hartshorn, nitro-sil, am-fol, liquid nitrogen. It is sometimes referred to as 82-0-0 where 82 refers to the percent of nitrogen fertilizer provided.
Chemical Name: Ammonia
Chemical Family: Alkali
An alkali is a base that produces hydroxide ions ( OH- ) when dissolved in water. Bases are typically water-soluble and always have a pH greater than 7 when in solution.

The ammonia molecule consists of one atom of nitrogen (N) and three atoms of hydrogen (H). It is produced by combining atmospheric nitrogen which constitutes 78% of the air we breathe with hydrogen. This nitrogen fixation requires high temperature and pressure in the presence of an iron catalyst.
