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: 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:-
A. A water molecule
Explanation:-
A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound that retains all it's chemical properties.
Here H2O is a compound. So the smallest particle that will retain all the chemical properties and still remain water is water molecule.
Atoms Hydrogen and Oxygen both have different chemical properties from water H2O and are thus different.
Hydrogen peroxide is different molecule from water. So it is also not water.
I think it's Chlorine but, not 100% sure. so C.
