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: 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.

Calculus, originally called infinitesimal calculus or "the calculus of infinitesimals", is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

Give the number of significant figures in this number: 7.8 x 10¹²

denis-greek [22]

The number is written in scientific notation.

The significant figures are the numbers known precisely plus 1 digit that is uncertain.

When the numbers are expressed in scientific notation all the digits before 10^n are significant.

So, 7 and 8 are significant figures and the answer is that the number of significant figures is 2.

What is the theoretical yield of Li3N in grams when 12.8 g of Li is heated with 34.9 g of N2?

Olenka [21]

Answer:- 21.4 grams of $Li_3N$ are formed.

Solution:- The balanced equation is:

$6Li+N_2\rightarrow 2Li_3N$

From this equation, lithium and nitrogen reacts in 6:1 mol ratio. Limiting reactant gives the theoretical yield of the product. We will calculate the grams of the product for the given grams of both the reactants and see which one of them gives the limited amount of the product. This limited amount of the product will be the theoretical yield.

The molar mass of Li is 6.94 gram per mol and for $N_2$ It is 28.02 gram per mol. The molar mass of $Li_3N$ is 34.83 gram per mol. The calculations for the grams of the product for given grams of both the reactants are shown below:
