Liquid ammonia (anhydrous NH3(0)) is often used as a solvent. Like water, ammonia undergoes autoionization by the transfer of a proton: 2NH3 = NH4+ + NH2" K = 1x10-33 at -50°C Since ammonia is better proton acceptor than water, the ionization of acids is relatively enhanced in liquid ammonia. For example, acetic acid is a strong acid in liquid ammonia.
