    Ammonia's Base Behavior

    Ammonia ($NH_3$) acts as a weak base in water by accepting hydrogen ions ($H^+$), indirectly releasing hydroxide ions ($OH^-$). This indirectly increases the concentration of $OH^-$ in the solution, making it slightly alkaline.

    Weak Base vs. Strong Base

    A weak base releases hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) indirectly in a solution, while a strong base releases $OH^-$ directly. Weak bases have a lower pH than strong bases, though both are still considered alkaline.
