The Ostwald process for the production of HNO3 is

role="math" localid="1663397733473" (1)4NH3(g) + 5O2(g)Pt/Rh Catalyst4NO(g) + 6H2O(g)(2)2NO(g) +O2(g)2NO2(g)(3)3NO2(g) +H2O(l)2HNO3(aq) +NO(g)

(a) Describe the nature of the change that occurs in step .

(b) Write an overall equation that includes NH3and HNO3as the only nitrogen-containing species.

(c) Calculate Hrxno (in kJ/mol atoms) for this reaction at role="math" localid="1663397880389" 25oC.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The nature of the change that occurs in step three is disproportionation.

(b) The overall reaction is 4NH3(g)+8O2(g)+3H2O(l)6H2O(g)+4HNO3(aq).

(c) The value for Hrxno at 25oC is -1236kJ/mol.

Step by step solution

01

Concept Introduction

The Ostwald process is a chemical reaction that produces nitric acid (HNO3 ). Wilhelm Ostwald invented the method, which he patented in1902. The Ostwald process is a cornerstone of contemporary chemical manufacturing, and it provides the primary raw material for the most prevalent type of fertiliser.

02

Nature of Change

(a)

Stepincludes the disproportionation of nitrogen from oxidation state(IV)toVandII.

Disproportionation is a redox process in which one compound converts to two different compounds out of which one has a higher oxidation state, and the other one a lower oxidation state than the starting compound.

Therefore, it is disproportionation.

03

Overall Reaction

(b)

Combine the given three reaction into one reaction 鈥

4NH3(g)+5O2(g)4NO(g)+6H2O(g)2NO(g)+O2(g)2NO2(g)3NO2(g)+H2O(l)2HNO3(aq)+NO(g)4NH3(g)+8O2(g)+6NO(g)+6NO2(g)+3H2O(l)6NO(g)+6H2O(g)+6NO2(g)+4HNO3(aq)4NH3(g)+8O2(g)+3H2O(l)6H2O(g)+4HNO3(aq)

Therefore, the overall reaction is obtained.

04

Calculation for  ΔHrxno

(c)

The formula is 鈥

Hrxno=Hproductso-HreactantsoHrxno=4molHHNO3,aqo+6molHH2O,go-4molHNH3,go+8molHO2,go+3molHH2O,lo

Substitute the values and calculate 鈥

Hrxno=[4(-206.57kJ/mol)+6mol(-241.826kJ/mol)]-[4mol(-45.9kJ/mol)+80kJ/mol+3(-285.840kJ/mol)]Hrxno=-1236kJ/mol

Therefore, the value obtained as -1236kJ/mol.

The use of silica to form slag in the production of phosphorus from phosphate rock was introduced by Robert Boyle more than years ago. When fluorapatite [Ca5(PO4)3F]is used in phosphorus production, most of the fluorine atoms appear in the slag, but some end up in toxic and corrosive SiF4(g).

(b) In some facilities, the SiF4 is used to produce sodium hexafluoro silicate (Na2SiF6)which is sold for water fluoridation:
