Ammonia Gas Chemistry Question.

Why would not all the gas would escape from the ammonia solution if an open bottle of it was put in a sealed container.
Sorry you've not had any responses about this. :frown: Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific Study Help forum should help get responses. :redface:

I'm going to quote in Puddles the Monkey now so she can move your thread to the right place if it's needed. :h: :yy:

It's to do with equilibrium. Some of the gas would leave the container as that would be entropically favourable. However, it would be entropically unfavourable for all of the gas to leave the container as this would technically create more order.
