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.
One possible answer could be that a chemical reaction has occurred.
Answer: The reactants’ bonds break, and bonds of the products form.
Explanation:
When a chemical reaction takes place, the bonds are broken and new bonds are formed to make new molecules. Like when 2 water molecules are broken down to form hydrogen and oxygen.
The total kinetic energy of the gas sample is 3.3 KJ
<h3>What is kinetic energy? </h3>
This is the energy possessed by an object in motion. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:
KE = ½mv²
Where
- KE is the kinetic energy
- m is the mass
- v is the velocity
<h3>How to determine the mass of the fluorine gas</h3>
- Molar mass of fluorine gas = 38 g/mol
- Mole of fluorine gas = 1 mole
- Mass of fluorine gas = ?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of fluorine gas = 1 × 38
Mass of fluorine gas = 38 g
<h3>How to determine the KE of the gas sample</h3>
- Mass (m) = 38 g = 38 / 1000 = 0.038 Kg
- Velocity (v) = 415 m/s
- Kinetic energy (KE) =?
KE = ½mv²
KE = ½ × 0.038 × 415²
KE = 3272.275 J
Divide by 1000 to express in kilojoule
KE = 3272.275 / 1000
KE = 3.3 KJ
