Nitric acid, a major industrial and laboratory acid, is produced commercially by the multistep Ostwald process, which begins with the oxidation of ammonia: Step 1. 4NH3(g) _ 5O2(g) 4NO(g) _ 6H2O(l) Step 2. 2NO(g) _ O2(g) 2NO2(g) Step 3. 3NO2(g) _ H2O(l) 2HNO3(l) _ NO(g) (a) What are the oxidizing and reducing agents in each step? (b) Assuming 100% yield in each step, what mass (in kg) of ammonia must be used to produce 3.0_104 kg of HNO3?
