Large-scale manufacture of nitric acid by Ostwald process utilizes the reaction

Question

Large-scale manufacture of nitric acid by Ostwald process utilizes the reaction (A) 2NaNO3 + H2SO4 arrow Na2SO4 + 2HNO3 (B) 4NH3 + 5O2 arrow 4NO + 6H2O (C) NO2+ + NO3- + H2O arrow 2HNO3 (D) 2NO + O2 + H2O arrow HNO3 + HNO2

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The restricted oxidation of NH3 can be done with air, when the mixture is passed over heated platinum gauze at 700°C to 800°C. 4NH3 + 5O2 arrow 4NO + 6H2O + underset textCalories21,600 2NO + O2 arrow 2NO2 3NO2 + H2O arrow 2HNO3 + NO This is the Ostwald’s process used for manufacture of HNO3

Q. Large-scale manufacture of nitric acid by Ostwald process utilizes the reaction

$2 N a N O_{3} + H_{2} S O_{4} \to N a_{2} S O_{4} + 2 H N O_{3}$

$4 N H_{3} + 5 O_{2} \to 4 NO + 6 H_{2} O$

$N O_{2}^{+} + N O_{3}^{-} + H_{2} O \to 2 H N O_{3}$

$2 NO + O_{2} + H_{2} O \to H N O_{3} + H N O_{2}$

Q. Large-scale manufacture of nitric acid by Ostwald process utilizes the reaction

2NaNO3​+H2​SO4​→Na2​SO4​+2HNO3​

4NH3​+5O2​→4NO+6H2​O

NO2+​+NO3−​+H2​O→2HNO3​

2NO+O2​+H2​O→HNO3​+HNO2​

The restricted oxidation of NH3​ can be done with air, when the mixture is passed over heated platinum gauze at 700∘C to 800∘C. 4NH3​+5O2​→4NO+6H2​O+Calories21,600​ 2NO+O2​→2NO2​ 3NO2​+H2​O→2HNO3​+NO This is the Ostwald’s process used for manufacture of HNO3​

$2 N a N O_{3} + H_{2} S O_{4} \to N a_{2} S O_{4} + 2 H N O_{3}$

$4 N H_{3} + 5 O_{2} \to 4 NO + 6 H_{2} O$

$N O_{2}^{+} + N O_{3}^{-} + H_{2} O \to 2 H N O_{3}$

$2 NO + O_{2} + H_{2} O \to H N O_{3} + H N O_{2}$
