Chapter 14, Problem 14.114P

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The three steps of Ostwald process has to be given.

Concept-Introduction:

Ostwald process: It is a chemical process where ammonium is converted to nitric acid.

Oxidation reaction: The loss of electrons or the gain of oxigen atoms. And also increase their oxidation number.

Disproportionation reaction: It is type of reaction where a substance can act as a reducing agent as well as an oxidizing agent since an atom present in the substance reacts to give atoms having and lower oxidation states.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Moles of $N{H}_3$ are consumed per mole of $HN{O}_3$ produced has to be determined.

Concept-Introduction:

Ostwald process: It is a chemical process where ammonium is converted to nitric acid.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Volume of concentrated aqueous nitric acid has to be determined using the given data.

Concept-Introduction:

Ostwald process: It is a chemical process where ammonium is converted to nitric acid.

According to Ideal gas equation,

$\text{Number}\text{of}\text{moles}\text{=}\frac{\text{Pressure}\times \text{Volume}}{\text{R}\text{×}\text{Temperature}}$
