Solution: The commercial production of nitric acid involves
Chapter , Problem 96AE(choose chapter or problem)
The commercial production of nitric acid involves the following chemical reactions:
\(4\ \mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)+5\ \mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \longrightarrow 4\ \mathrm{NO}(g)+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)\)
\(2\ \mathrm{NO}(g)+\mathrm{O}_{2}(g) & \longrightarrow 2\ \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)\)
\(3\ \mathrm{NO}_{2}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) & \longrightarrow 2\ \mathrm{HNO}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{NO}(g)\)
(a) Which of these reactions are redox reactions? (b) In each redox reaction identify the element undergoing oxidation and the element undergoing reduction. (c) How many grams of ammonia must you start with to make of a aqueous solution of nitric acid? Assume all the reactions give yield.
