    Solvated electrons in ammonia solution

    Are you saying that the reaction is reasonably fast under ambient conditions? If that were the case, then the blue color would start to disappear, right? I haven't dealt with the stuff. Barring the reaction with ammonia itself, why don't the solvated electrons react with each other to form...
