SUMMARY

The reaction between HNO3 (nitric acid) and NH3 (ammonia) produces NH4NO3 (ammonium nitrate). This compound is widely recognized as a fertilizer due to its high nitrogen content, making it essential for agricultural applications. The confirmation of NH4NO3 as the product highlights its significance in both chemical reactions and its practical use in farming.
