Explain the following observations.Liquid ammonia bottle is cooled before opening the seal.
Liquid ammonia bottle contains the gas under very high pressure. If the bottle is opened as such, then the sudden decrease in pressure will lead to a large increase in the volume of the gas. As a result, the gas will come out of the bottle with force. This will lead to the breakage of the bottle. Cooling under tap water will result in a decrease in volume. It reduces the chances of an accident.
