Nitric acid, a major industrial and laboratory acid, is produced commercially by the multistep Ostwald process, which begins with the oxidation of ammonia:
Step 1. 4NH₃(g) + 5O₂(g) → 4NO(g) + 6H₂O(l)
Step 2. 2NO(g) + O₂(g) → 2NO₂(g)
Step 3. 3NO₂(g) + H₂O(l) → 2HNO₃(l) + NO(g)
(a) What are the oxidizing and reducing agents in each step?

Respuesta :

Reducing agent: NH₃ Oxidizing agent: O₂

Reducing agent: NO Oxidizing agent: O₂

Reducing agent: NO₂ Oxidizing agent: NO₂

What is Oxidizing and reducing agent ?

A material is said to be oxidised and is referred to as a reducing agent if it loses hydrogen or obtains oxygen during a process. Oxidizing agent: A material is said to be reduced and is referred to as an oxidising agent if it gets hydrogen or loses oxygen during a process.

  • Oxidizing substances include things like halogens, potassium nitrate, and nitric acid. Carbon, Carbon monoxide, Ascorbic acid, Sulfur Dioxide, Hydrogen, Oxalic acid, Phosphites, Phosphorous Acid, Hypophosphites, and other chemicals are some other reducing agent molecules.
