This paper reports the results for the quantitative determination of ammonia (NH3) in aqueous solution by a UV-vis spectrophotometric method and artificial neural network (ANN) intelligence tool. Quantitation of NH3 was based on the chemical reaction of NH3 with cobalt(II) (Co2+) ions in basic medium to form a blue hexamminecobaltate(II) ([Co(NH3)(6)](2+)) complex. Characterizations of Co2+ ion in solution included photostability, pH effect, response time, Co2+ ion concentration effect, dynamic linear range and reproducibility, which were performed using a UV-vis spectrophotometer. The pink cobalt species gradually changed to blue with increasing NH3 concentration. The absorption calibration curve was linear over the NH3 concentration range of 0.6-3.5 mM at optimum pH 8 with a reproducibility relative standard deviation (RSD) of <4.0%. The interference effect was found to be negligible for a number of foreign ions present in the reaction medium during NH3 determination in an aqueous environment.
