Ostwald's process: 4 NH 3( g )+5 O 2( g ) xrightarrow Pt ( s ) 4 NO ( g )+6 H 2 O ( g ) Product ' Y ' is nitric oxide (NO). ∴ No. of atoms of nitrogen in one molecule of nitric oxide =1

Q. Ostwald's process involves oxidation of ammonia to ' $Y$ ' in the presence of platinum gauze. How many atoms of nitrogen is/are present in one molecule of product ' $Y$ '?

Ostwald's process:
$4 N H_{3 (g)} + 5 O_{2 (g)} Pt (s) 4 N O_{(g)} + 6 H_{2} O_{(g)}$
Product ' $Y$ ' is nitric oxide $(NO)$ .
$∴$ No. of atoms of nitrogen in one molecule of nitric oxide $= 1$
