First, it combines with carbon dioxide in the soil to form a weak acid called carbonic acid. ... Carbonic acid slowly dissolves away minerals in rock, especially the carbonate minerals that make up limestone and marble. The weak acid decomposes the insoluble rock into watersoluble products that move into the groundwater.
<h3>Water</h3>
<em>Specific heat is defined as the amount of heat one gram of a substance must absorb or lose to change its temperature by one degree Celsius.</em>
- For water, this amount is one calorie, or 4.184 Joules.
Answer:
A feasible error could have been the removal of the sample before all water evaporated.
Explanation:
In order to determine the percentage of water in an hydrate, an experiment that could be performed is the heating of the sample until the mass does not change. If the student heated the sample an insufficient amount of time, water will be present in the sample, thus reducing the percentage reported.
There are 3 equations involved in manufacturing Nitric Acid from Ammonia.
First the ammonia is oxidized:
4NH3 + 5O2 = 4NO + 6H2O
Then for the absorption of the nitrogen oxides.
2NO + O2 = N2O4
Lastly, the N2O4 is further oxidized into Nitric acid.
3N2O4 + 2H2O = 4HNO3 + 2NO
Then run stoichiometry through these equations.
The first equation produces roughly 271,722,938 grams of NO
The second equation produces roughly 416,606,944 grams of N2O4
The last equation produces roughly 380,412,294 grams of HNO3 (nitric acid)
Convert the exact number back into tons, and your answer is: <span>419.332775 tons.

Rounded, I'm going to say that's 419.33 tons.
Hope this helps! :)
Also, it seems that commercially, Nitric Acid is commonly made by bubbling NO2 into water, rather than using ammonia.
