Problem 90 Easy Difficulty
The following set of reactions is to be used as the basis of a method for
producing nitric acid, HNO3 Calculate the minimum masses of N₂, H₂
and O₂ required per kilogram of HNO3
Answer
N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH3(g)
4NH3(g) + 5O₂(g) →→→ 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(g)
2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)
3NO₂(g) + H₂O(1) → 2HNO3(aq) + NO(g)
