Here you go:

"2.2.1 Identify and describe the industrial uses of ammonia.

Ammonia (NH3) is a very important industrial chemical. Most of the ammonia manufactured is used to make fertilisers such as ammonium nitrate and urea. Ammonia can be oxidised to produce nitric acid for the manufacture of explosives such as nitroglycerine. It is also used in the production of plastics such as PAN and nylon as well as being used as a refrigerant gas. Domestically it is used as a cleaning agent and disinfectant."

To me, Frigid's notes seem to satisfy this dot point. Even hsc.csu.edu.au only says for this DP:

Ammonia is used to make solid and liquid fertilisers, explosives, nitric acid, sodium carbonate, some pharmaceuticals and household cleaners. It is also used as a refrigerant.

To make fertilizer industrially, ammonia, which is a weak base, is reacted with sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate fertiliser and with nitric acid to form ammonium nitrate fertiliser.

use a dictionary or search for a set out structure for a description on the internet, then from there jus put ur points together into that structure

*not offended, just slightly RRRR... but that's my mood todai*

tho, IMHO, according to the syllabus support document definition, I've done right. I dunno what more they can ask for.
