Nitric acid is used for making fertilizers like ammonium phosphate, explosives like TNT: Tri-Nitro Toluene, dyes, and plastics. Correct Answer Both are correct

The correct answer is 3 i.e. Both are correct.

Mineral acid:

  • A mineral acid is an acid derived from one or more inorganic compounds. 
  • All mineral acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base when dissolved in water.
  • Uses of mineral acids in industries are:
    • Sulphuric acid is used in the manufacture of fertilizers like ammonium sulfate, paints, dyes, chemicals, plastics, synthetic fibers, detergents, explosives, and car batteries.
    • Nitric acid is used for making fertilizers like ammonium phosphate, explosives like TNT: Tri-Nitro Toluene, dyes, and plastics.
    • Hydrochloric acid is used for removing oxide film from steel objects (before they galvanized) and for removing 'scale' deposits from inside the boilers. 
      • It is also used in dyestuffs, textile, food, and leather industries.
