The answer is (3) sodium nitrate. Sodium nitrate is NaNO3. The bond between N and O ion is covalent bond and the bond between Na+ and NO3- is ionic bond.

Answer is (3) - Sodium Nitrate.

Normally ionic bonds can be seen between metals and non-metals while covalent bonds present between non-metals. Another thing that determines the bond nature is electronegativity value of the atoms. If the electronegativity difference is high, then that bond tends to be an ionic bond.

Sodium nitrate consists of Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ ions. Hence, the bond between Na⁺ and NO₃⁻ is an ionic bond. 

NO₃⁻ is made from N and O. Both are non-metallic atoms. The electronegativities of N and O are 3.0 and 3.5 respectively. Hence, there is no big difference between electronegativity values (3.5 - 3.0 = 0.5). Hence, the bond between N and O is a covalent bond.

We have 1700 Tonnes of Amoniac every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitrogen soda we can get?

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: John Dalton

Explanation: Democritus was a Greek philosopher (470-380 B.C.) who is the father of modern atomic thought. He proposed that matter could NOT be divided into smaller pieces forever. John Dalton created the very first atomic theory.
