The Ostwald Process for the Commercial Production of Nitric Acid Involves the Following Three Steps?

1) 4NH3(g)+5O2(g)>4NO(g)+6H2O(g)
2) 2NO(g)+O2(g)>2NO2(g)
3)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)>2HNO3(aq)+NO(g)
how much nitric oxide can be produced from a mixture of 5.7E6g of ammonia and 5.7E7g of O2
urgent and please explain

  1. The ~Muffin~ Man says:

    First you need to determine your limiting reagent in the first step.

    Molecular mass of NH3 = 17 g/mol, O2 = 32 g/mol
    Mol of NH3 = 5,700,000 g/17 g/mol
    Mol of NH3 = 3.35E5 mol

    Mol of O2 = 57,000,000 g/32 g/mol
    Mol of O2 = 1.78E6 mol

    So based on the first equation (1), NH3 is the limiting reagent.
    For every 4 mol of NH3, one gets 4 mol of NO. So the first reaction produced 3.35E5 mol of NO.

    The second reaction produces 2 mol of NO2 for every 2 mol of NO used, so the second reaction produced 3.35E5 mol of NO2.

    The third reaction produces 2 mol of HNO3 for every 3 mol of NO2 used, so this final reaction will produce 2/3 x 3.35E5 mol of HNO3 = 2.23E5 mol.

    Then use molecular mass of HNO3 to calculate how much of it (mass) that you made.
    HNO3 molecular mass = 63 g/mol
    mass = mol x molar mass
    mass = 2.23E5 x 63 g/mol
    mass = 1.41E7 g of HNO3

    Of course this assumes 100% yields in all the above noted reactions.
