Expert Answer:
Liquid ammonia is is a good cleansing agent as it is a strong base and an excellent solvent for many electrolytes, especially when a more basic medium is required or if the
solutes react with water.
Strong bases can such dissolve solids in clogged water pipes in households. Ammonia is a polar molecule containing a free electron pair and therefore dissolves compounds much like
water does.
