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.
Answer:
Energy sources do not have 100% efficiency because <em>the processes of energy conversion to usable forms involves energy losses. </em>
Some have lower efficiencies due to; <u>energy losses in form of heat</u> during conversion, <u>poor technology applied during conversion</u> of energy and<u> lack of desire equipment</u> to use in the energy conversion system.
Explanation:
The desired form of energy for use is derived from conversion of energy from the source using an energy converter into another form which is usable. The efficiency of the energy converter is calculated as;
л = output energy/input energy
The efficiency of energy is limited to the cost of equipment required for conversion from energy source by the energy converter to a form which is usable. Additionally, because energy sources are scarce, the technology to use in energy conversion is a factor affecting energy efficiency in that high efficiency will require advanced technology with better equipment leading higher costs of that energy form. when heat losses are involved during energy conversion, efficiency lowers, thus its better if such losses are used as energy input in another system.
<span>To convert the number of moles a compound to formula units, the conversion factor is Avogadro's number, 6.022 x10^23 formula units/ mol. In this case, we are given with 7.02 moles of sodium chloride. Hence the answer is 4.23 x 10^24 formula units.</span>

Molecules in a gas will have more movement than molecules in a solid. This is because the molecules in solid matter are packed very tightly together to maintain its shape, whereas with gases they are spaced much further apart and fairly free to move. Hope this helps!
