Question

nitric acid is made by oxidation of nh3. 3 reactions occur. below are the following rxns.

 

(a) plz balance them...

 

(b) use a generation consumption analysis to synthesize a reaction pathway to make nitric acid from NH3 & 02 based on these 3 rxns, with NO net generation or consumption of N0 and NO3. h20 is allowed. 

 

 

### Reaction Equations and Analysis

#### Reaction Equations

1. **R₁**: 
   \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NH}_3 + \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NO}_2 + \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \]

2. **R₂**: 
   \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NO} + \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{O}_2 \rightarrow \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NO}_2 \]

3. **R₃**: 
   \[ \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NO}_2 + \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{HNO}_3 + \_\_\_\_\_\_ \, \text{NO} \]

#### Generation-Consumption Analysis

A table is provided to analyze the generation and consumption of substances across reactions R₁, R₂, and R₃, with an "Overall" column for the net results. The table headers include:

- **NH₃**
- **O₂**
- **H₂O**
- **NO₂**
- **HNO₃**

No specific quantities are provided in the table.

#### Note

The text mentions that there is no net generation or consumption of NO or NO₂. The condition for H₂O is “OK.” 

This analysis is likely exploring the stoichiometry of the reactions, ensuring mass and mole balance, and understanding the interactions between these compounds in the reactions listed.
