We get 1700 Tonnes of Ammonia every day. How many tonnes of 63% Nitric acid 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: <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.

Use the periodic table to answer this question. Decomposing calcium carbonate yields calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What info
erik [133]
This may help you

First write and balance the equation, being: CaCO3 - CaO + CO2 Then, using the periodic table, find the molecular masses of CaCO3 and of CaO, finding their ratio. That will be 100g:56g or 0.1kg:0.056kg. Since you have 4.7kg of CaCO3, it corresponds to Xkg of CaO. Making x the subject, it should be X= 4.7*0.056/100=0,002632

Celsius is based on the freezing and boiling points of water.

Water freezes below 0 degrees Celsius (32 degrees Fahrenheit), and it boils above 100 degrees Celsius (212 degrees Fahrenheit).
