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.

An element has ccp packing with a face-centered cubic unit cell. its density is 8920 kg/m3 and the unit cell volume is 4.72 x 10
ziro4ka [17]
<span>63.4 g/mol
   First, let's determine how many atoms per unit cell in face-centered cubic. There is 8 corners, each of which has 1 atom, and each of those atoms is shared between 8 other unit cells. So 8*1/8 = 1 atom per unit cell. Additionally, there are 6 faces, each of which has 1 atom that's shared between 2 unit cells. So 6*1/2 = 3 atoms per unit cell. So each unit cell has the mass of 1+3 = 4 atoms. Since there is 1000 liters per cubic meter, the mass per liter is 8920 kg/1000 = 8.920 kg/L. Now the mass per unit cell is 8920 g * 4.72x10^-26 = 4.21024x10^-22 g per unit cell. The mass per atom is 4.21024x10^-22 g / 4 = 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom, Finally, multiply by Avogadro's number, getting 1.05256x10^-22 g/atom * 6.0221409x10^23 atom/mol = 63.38664625704 g/mol.
   Rounding to 3 significant digits gives 63.4 g/mol.</span>

Will the calculated Molarity of NaOH be too high or too low or unaffected if the following happen: when you answer the question,
vodomira [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The result will be affected.

The mass of KHP  weighed out was used to calculate the moles of KHP weighed out (moles = mass/molar mass).

Not all the sample is actually KHP if the KHP is a little moist, so when mass was used to determine the moles of KHP, a higher number of moles than what is actually present would be obtained (because some of that mass was not KHP but it was assumed to be so. Therefore, there is actually a less present number of moles than the certain number that was thought of.

During the titration, NaOH reacts in a 1:1 ratio with KHP. So it was determined that there was the same number of moles of NaOH was the volume used as there were KHP in the mass that was weighed out. Since there was an overestimation in the moles of KHP, then there also would be an overestimation in the number of moles of NaOH.

Thus, NaOH will appear at a higher concentration than it actually is.

An element A combines with element B. The electrons are transferred from the atom A to the atom B. .
Sloan [31]

(a) The nature of bond between A and B is an ionic bond.

(b) The two main properties of the ionic compounds are:

  • Ionic Compounds have high boiling and melting points as they're very strong and require a lot of energy to break.
  • The electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions lead to the formation of ions.

(c) If the ionic compound is dissolved in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly

<h3>What is an ionic compound?</h3>

Ionic compounds contain ions and are held together by the attractive forces among the oppositely charged ions.

An ionic bond is formed by the complete transfer of some electrons from one atom to another. The atom losing one or more electrons becomes a cation—a positively charged ion.

In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion.

When ionic compounds dissolve in water, the ions in the solid separate and disperse uniformly throughout the solution.

What are the respective hybridizations of the imine nitrogen and carbonyl carbon of the CPV B-state as it is depicted in the pas
horsena [70]

Answer:

C) sp2 and sp2

Explanation:

The hybridization depens on the ammount and type of bonds the atom analized has in the molecule.

For example:

  • A C atom bonded to 4 H atoms has a sp3 hybridization.
  • A C atom bonded to 2 H atoms and to 1 C with a double bond (like in ethene) has a sp2 hybridization
  • A C bonded to 1 H and 1 C with a triple bond (like in ethyne) has a sp hybridization.

Analyzing the type and amount of unions of the nitrogen and the carbonyl you will be able to determine the hybridization.

In the imine, the N atom has a double bond to a C and a simple bond two other C, plus the lone pair of electrons (counts as a bond) so it will have a sp2 hybridization.

In the carbonyl, the C has two simple bonds to other C and a double bond to an oxygen atom. It will also have a sp2 hybridization
