Answer Details
The reaction of a substance with NH\(_4\)NO\(_{3(aq)}\) to generate ammonia gas is a test for identifying substances that are basic in nature. The reaction is known as the "Ammonia Test".
NH\(_4\)NO\(_{3(aq)}\) is an acidic solution and it reacts with basic substances to produce ammonia gas. Among the given options, only NaOH is a strong base that can react with NH\(_4\)NO\(_{3(aq)}\) to generate ammonia gas. Therefore, the substance L is likely to be NaOH.
