Question
The industries production of nitric acid (HNO_3) is a multistep process. The first step is oxidation of ammonia (NH_3) over a catalyst with excess oxygen (O_2) to produce nitrogen (NO) gas as shown by this unbalance equation given these: ?NH_3(g) + ?O_2(g) rightarrow ?NO(g) + ?H_3O(g) what volume O_2 at 836 mmHg and 29 degree C is required to synthesize 10.0 mol of NO? express your answer to these significant figures and include the appropriate units. The question will be shown when your complete previous question(a).Explanation / Answer
4NH3+ 5O2 -------> 4NO + 6H2O
FROM EQUATION
4 mol nh3 = 5 mol o2 = 4 mol no = 6 mol h2o
No of mol of O2 required = 10*5/4 = 12.5 mol
Volume of O2 required = nRT/p
= 12.5*0.0821*302.15/1.1
= 281.9 L
