Nitric Acid and Ammonia (Ammonium Nitrate)

HNO₃ + NH₃ → NH₄NO₃

Tổng quan

Nitric acid reacts with ammonia to form ammonium nitrate, the world's most widely used nitrogen fertilizer. This exothermic reaction must be carefully controlled in industrial production. Ammonium nitrate contains 34% nitrogen, the highest of common solid fertilizers.
