Question
The following consecutive reaction set is used as the basis of a method for producing nitric acid. Calculate the
minimum masses of N2, H2, and Oz required per pound of nitric acid.
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)
4 NH3(g) + 5 02 (g) → 4 NO (g) +6 H,0 (g)
2 NO (g) + 02 (g) → 2 NO2 (g)
3 NO2 (g) + H20 (1) →2 HNO3 (aq) + NO (g)
