Chemguide: Support for CIE A level Chemistry Learning outcome
9.6(d) This statement is about the uses of ammonia, and other
nitrogen containing compounds produced from it. Before you go
on, you should find and read the statement in your copy of the
syllabus. This is seriously boring stuff, and you probably
already know enough from work you did before you started to do A
level chemistry. Uses of ammonia Uses of nitric acid I suspect
you would be safe if you just learnt that both ammonia and
nitric acid are used in the manufacture of fertilisers; that
ammonia is also used to make nitric acid; and that nitric acid
is also used to make explosives. © Jim Clark 2011
