Answer to Question #144406 in General Chemistry for Mikkos Joshua Garcia

Question

According to indexmundi.com China produces the largest amount of ammonia with 45,520 in thousand metric ton. The profitability of the ammonia production is around 90% of the total ammonia production cost which is about Php 10,000 per ton.
Refer to the balanced chemical equation: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ➡️ 2NH3(g)

How much they gain from this amount of ammonia produced?
Cite another chemical reaction which is beneficial to any industry, business, environment, and at home.

Answer 1

China has over $80$ million MTPY ammonia production capacity, which is almost $40\%$ of global ammonia production capacity. Among the more than $400$ ammonia plants, around $80\%$ are using coal as feedstock. Due to the increasing living standards and stringent environmental regulations, the ammonia industry continues to consolidate and many larger and cleaner ammonia plants near to the coal resources are being built. 

2. An example of a beneficial chemical reaction is the anaerobic respiration by yeast and bacteria which harnesses fermentation to produce ethanol, carbon dioxide, and other chemicals that make cheese, wine, beer, yogurt, bread, and many other common products.
