Explain that ammonia can be used to manufacture nitric acid. (Chemistry only)

In the subtopic Production and uses of NPK fertilisers, this learning objective focuses on explain that ammonia can be used to manufacture nitric acid. (Chemistry only). Within The Haber process and the use of NPK fertilisers, students should explain this idea in the exact curriculum context rather than as an isolated fact. Approved keywords for this objective include chemistry only and nitric acid. ammonia means a colorless gas with the formula NH3, used in the production of nitric acid and nitrogen-based fertilizers. Avoid students often confuse the use of ammonia in making nitric acid with its use in making ammonium salts; instead remember that ammonia can be used to manufacture both nitric acid and ammonium salts, but they are distinct processes. For exam answers, focus on how ammonia is a key starting material for the production of nitric acid.
