the ostwald process for the comercial production of nitric acid frpm ammonia and oxygen involves the following steps : 4NH3 (g) + 5O2 ---> 4NO(g) + 6H2O (g)
2NO(g) + O2(g) ---> 2NO2(g)
3NO2(g) + H2O(l) ---> 2HNO3(aq) + NO(g)
a) use the values of (triangle)Hf in appendix 4 to calculate the value of (triangle)H for each of the preceding reactions. b) Write the overall equation for the production of nitric acid by the ostwald process by combining the preceding equations. (water is also a product) is the overall reaction? exothermic or endothermic?
