Question

Give clear handwritten answer of the question.

Industrially, nitric acid is produced by the Ostwald process, as represented by the following equations:
4NH, (g) + 50,g) - 4NO(g) + 6H,0 (1)
2NO(K) + 0,k) - 2 NO, (g)
2NO,() + H,0() - HNO, (aq) + HNO, (aq)
What mass of NH, (in grams) must be used to produce 2.39 tons of HNO, by the Ostwald process, assumingan 80.0 percent yield in each step
(1 ton - 2000 Ib, 1 Ib- 453.6 g)?
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
