What was the central food crop in the high altitude of the Andes?

Nitric acid, HNO3, was first prepared 1200 years ago by heating naturally occurring sodium nitrate (called saltpeter) with sulfuric acid to produce sodium bisulfate and collecting the vapors of HNO3 produced.  Calculate ∆H°rxn for this reaction.  ∆H°f[NaNO3(s)] = -467.8 kJ/mol; ∆H°f[NaHSO4(s)] = -1125.5 kJ/mol; ∆H°f[H2SO4(l)] = -814.0 kJ/mol; ∆H°f[HNO3(g)] = -135.1 kJ/mol.NaNO3(s)  +  H2SO4(l)  =>   NaHSO4(s) + HNO3(g)

Using the information below, calculate ∆Hf° for PbO(s)               PbO(s) + CO(g) –> Pb(s) + CO2(g)     ∆H° = –131.4 kJ                                                                            ∆Hf° for CO2(g) = –393.5 kJ/mol                                                                            ∆Hf° for CO(g) = –110.5 kJ/mol
