Q.No.20 Why Liquid Ammonia is Better Solvent Than Water??
Ans: 
You Should Know About Solvent Properties like Density ,Heat of solution and Hydrogen Bonding etc
1. Due to less extensive hydrogen BONDING, liquid NH3 is a better solvent for organic compounds which are more soluble than in water.
2. Due to its lower viscosity, liquid NH3 provides a better medium for the movement of ions in it.
3. Liquid NH3 has higher specific heat than water.
4. Liquid NH3 has high critical temperature and pressure
Note: Critical temperature of water is higher than ammonia
Ammonia=405 K
Water=605 K
But there are other factors which affect for better solvent of ammonia
