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.

A 100. 0 ml sample of 0. 10 m nh3 is titrated with 0. 10 m hno3. Determine the ph of the solution after the addition of 100. 0 m
DerKrebs [107]

The pH of the solution after the addition of 100. 0 ml of HNO3. The kb of NH3 is 1. 8 × 10-5. So, pH is 10.9 basic .

This neutralization occurs as the acid is added to the base:

NH3(aq)+ HNO3(aq)= NH4NO3(aq)+ H2O(l)

The initial moles of NH3present is given by,

nNH3= c×v= 0.10× 100/1000= 0.01m

The number of moles of

HNO3 added is given by:

nHNO3= c×v= 0.10× 100/1000= 0.001

It is clear from the equation that the acid and base react in a 1:1 molar ratio. So, the no. moles of NH3remaining will be 0.01 - 0.001= 0.009

The total volume is now

100.0+100.0= 200.0x cm3

The concentration of NH3 is given by,

[NH3]= c/v= 0.001/200/1000= 0.05x mol/l .

pOH= 12 (pKb− logb)

where b is the base's concentration.

Given that there is little dissociation, we can roughly compare this to the starting concentration.

pKb= −logKb= −log(1.8×10−5)= 4.744

pOH= 3.056

At 25∘xC, we know that, pH+ pOH=14

pH= 14− 3.056= 10.9

You are given a solution that is 518 mM lactose. You need to make up 4.5 L of 16.7 mM solution. What volume do you need to trans
OLga [1]

Answer:

The volume you need to transfer from the stock solution is 0.145 l

Explanation:

Since the number of moles of lactose in the volume of stock solution that you transfer will be the same as the number of moles of lactose in the final solution, you can use this expression:

number of moles in volume to transfer = number of moles in the final solution

Since number of moles = concentration * volume (if the concentration is expressed in molarity), then:

Ci * Vi = Cf * Vf

where:

Ci = concentration of the stock solution.

Vi = volume of the stock solution to be transferred.

Cf = concentration of the final solution

Vf = volume of the final solution

Then, replacing with the data:

518 mM * Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l

Vi = 16.7 mM * 4.5 l / 518 mM

<u>Vi = 0.145 l or 145 ml</u>

Notice that any concentration unit can be used, as long as the units of the concentration of the stock and final solution are the same.

The gas in a closed container has a pressure of 3.00 x 10² kPa 30 ° C. What will the pressure be if the temperature is lowered t
Rainbow [258]

Answer: 100kPa

Explanation:

P1 = 3.00 x 10² kPa , P2 =?

T1 = 30°C = 30 +273 = 303k

T2 = —172°C = —172 + 273 = 101k

P1/T1 = P2/T2

3 x 10² / 303 = P2 / 101

P2 = (3 x 10² / 303) x 101

P2 = 100kPa
