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+6H2O + 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) |
