The following sequence of reaction occurs in commercial production of aqueous of aqueous nitric acid. `{:(4 NH_(3) (g) + 5O_(2) (g) rarr 4NO (g) + 6 H_(2) O (l),Delta H = - 904 kJ.....(1),),(2 NO (g) + O_(2) (g) rarr 2NO_(2) (g) ,Delta H = - 112 kJ.....(2),),(3 NO_(2) (g) + H_(2) O (l) rarr 2HNO_(3) (aq) + NO (g),Delta H = - 140 kJ.....(3),):}` Determine the total heat liberated (in kJ/mol) at constant pressure for the production of exactly 1 mole of aqueous nitric acid from `NH_(3)` by this process.A. 986B. 493C. 246.5D. none of these |

Answer» Correct Answer - B 1 mole of `HNO_(3)=3/2` moles of `NO_(2) rarr 3/2` mole of `NO rarr 3/2` mole of `NH_(3)` `(3/2xx1/4)(904)-(3/2xx1/2)(112)-(3/2xx1/3)(140)=493" kJ/mol"` Heat liberated `=493" kJ/mol"` |
