1.	Nitric acid can be produced from ammonia in three step process. {:(,4NH_(3)(g)+5O_(2)(g)rarr4NO_(g)+6H_(2)O(g),...(1)),(,2NO(g)+O_(2)(g)rarr2NO_(2)(g),...(2)),(,3NO_(2)(g)+H_(2)O(l)rarr2HNO_(3)(aq.)+NO(g),...(3)):} Calculate weight of NH_(3)(g) required to produce 1260kg of HNO_(3). When % teild of 1^(st), 2^(nd) and 3^(rd) reaction are respectively 69%,60% and 68% respectively.
Answer» Solution :`(1260xx1000)/(63) = (W_(NH_(3)))/(7) XX (4)/(4) xx (2)/(2) xx (2)/(3)` `W_(NH_(3))=1811.5 KG`
