Question

Why strong bases like KOH should not be used to prepare ammonia from ammonium salts? 

Answer

Strong bases like KOH should not be used to prepare ammonia from ammonium salts because they can react with NH4+ ions to form NH3 gas, which can escape from the solution and lead to low yields of ammonia.
