Nitric acid is produced commercially by the Ostwald process. The first step of the Ostwald process is: 4 NH3(g) + 5 O2(g) ⇌ 4 NO(g) + 6 H2O(g) + energy In which direction will the above system shift in the following situations: (a) Some NH3 is removed. (b)The pressure of the system is decreased by increasing the volume. (c)The temperature of the system is decreased.
