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:

Explanation:
Hello,
Considering the ideal equation of state:

The moles are defined in terms of mass as follows:

Whereas
the gas' molar mass, thus:

Now, since the density is defined as the quotient between the mass and the volume, we get:

Solving for
:

Thus, the result is given by:
![density=\frac{(1atm)(44g/mol)}{[0.082atm*L/(mol*K)]*298.15K} \\density=1.8g/L=1.8x10^{-3}g/mL](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=density%3D%5Cfrac%7B%281atm%29%2844g%2Fmol%29%7D%7B%5B0.082atm%2AL%2F%28mol%2AK%29%5D%2A298.15K%7D%20%5C%5Cdensity%3D1.8g%2FL%3D1.8x10%5E%7B-3%7Dg%2FmL)

Answer:
C.) HOCl Ka=3.5x10^-8
Explanation:
In order to a construct a buffer of pH= 7.0 we need to find the pKa values of all the acids given below
we Know that
pKa= -log(Ka)
therefore
A) pKa of HClO2 = -log(1.2 x 10^-2)
=1.9208
B) similarly PKa of HF= -log(7.2 x 1 0^-4)= 2.7644
C) pKa of HOCl= -log(3.5 x 1 0^-8)= 7.45
D) pKa of HCN = -log(4 x 1 0^-10)= 9.3979
If we consider the Henderson- Hasselbalch equation for the calculation of the pH of the buffer solution
The weak acid for making the buffer must have a pKa value near to the desired pH of the weak acid.
So, near to value, pH=7.0. , the only option is HOCl whose pKa value is 7.45.
Hence, HOCl will be chosen for buffer construction.
