1.	Give the principle for the manufacture of nitric acid from amonia.
Answer» Due to following 11 porstion NH₃ and 89 portion mixture of air Pt gauze and heated are 100° we get NO. 4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O 2NO + O₂ → 2NO₂ 2NO₂ + H₂O → HNO₃ + HNO₂ HNO₂ → HNO₃ + 2NO + H₂O Hence NO gives NO₂ due to it is oxidised who soleted in water an there for HNO₃.

Answer»

Due to following 11 porstion NH₃ and 89 portion mixture of air Pt gauze and heated are 100° we get NO.

4NH₃ + 5O₂ → 4NO + 6H₂O

2NO + O₂ → 2NO₂

2NO₂ + H₂O → HNO₃ + HNO₂

HNO₂ → HNO₃ + 2NO + H₂O

Hence NO gives NO₂ due to it is oxidised who soleted in water an there for HNO₃.
