I asked for ammonia,and received a bag with a few kilos of ammonia in powder form---i used to receive ammonia in liquid form(nh4oh)-----what i have to do to liquify this powder? just add water? i thought to dissolve 350 grams of this powder in a liter of water---is this the correct way?thanks Arthur
 
Mix with distilled water and heat to 36°C.
Ammonium bicarbonate decomposes above about 36 °C into ammonia, carbon dioxide, and water in an endothermic process and so causes a drop in the temperature of the water:

NH4HCO3 → NH3 + H2O + CO2
