Question

Where ‘ammonia neutralization ‘ is done?

(a) To produce nitrophosphate

(b) To produce ammonium sulphate

(c) To produce ammonium nitrate

(d) To produce ammonium phosphate

I have been asked this question during a job interview.

The above asked question is from Inorganic Chemical topic in chapter Inorganic Chemical Industries of Chemical Technology

Answer 1

Correct choice is (a) To produce nitrophosphate

For explanation I would say: Ammonia neutralization is done in nitric acid digestion and nitric acid-sulfuric acid digestion of nitrophosphate production, where acid soluble CaHPO4, Ca(NO3)^2, NH4NO3 is produced.
