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.
Answer:
9.55 grams of SiO2
Explanation:
If the mass you mean by grams:
0.159 mole x 60.08 g (Periodic table by adding both elements)
Cancel moles with moles (Original moles with the 1 mol at the bottom of the grams) and gives you:
9.55 grams of SiO2
Answer: Catalyst
Explanation: it speeds it up lol but basically the catalyst helps speed up the chemical reaction by reducing the activation energy or changing the reaction machenism/
