Nitric acid is manufactured by Ostwald's process. Give a source of ammonia gas used in the manufacture (Process).

Answer»

Ostwald process to manufacture nitric acid-

Catalytic oxidation of Ammonia

A mixture of dry air and dry ammonia in the ratio of 10:1 by volume is compressed and then passed into a platinum gauze which acts as catalyst at about 800℃.

4NH3​ + 5O2​⟶4NO+6H2​O + Heat

Ammonia gas can be manufactured, on large scale, by Haber's process. Which can be used as a source of NH3 in manufacture of Nitric oxide.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) \(\rightleftharpoons\) 2NH3(g)
