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.

What is this a solid, liquid, or a gas, "The particles that are locked in fixed positions"
katovenus [111]
States of matter are determined by temperature. When the temperature is more cold, the particles move less. The colder the temperature, the more solid something becomes. Because the particles are in fixed positions, they do not move much, they are colder, and they are solid. Also, you cannot pass your hand through locked atoms. If you swipe your hand through water or gas, it parts. Solids, however, are fixed and cannot be passed by without significant force to break it.

One of these notations represents the definition of one mole. That is
just olya [345]

Answer:

6.02*10^23

Explanation:

This is the number for one mole. Just like one dozen = 12, one mole = 6.02*10^23.

Fun fact, if you had a mole of pennies you could spend 1 million dollars every second of your life and not have even spent 1% of it by the time you die at 100 years old.

) Calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid that is contained in 250 mL of 0.500 M sulfuric acid solution
maksim [4K]

Explanation:

According to the analysis, Molarity is amount mole per volume(1L). the amount in mole would be molarity × volume in litres.

0.500M × (250/1000)L= 0.125moles.

I hope this helps**
