Question
Name the product, catalyst and approximate temperature maintained in Ostwald's process. How is the temperature maintained in the Ostwald's process?
Solution
The nitric acid is manufactured by ostwald process. In ostwald process ammonia gas and air are taken in 1:10 ratio. Temperature is maintained at 800°C I the catalytic chamber, as the reaction is exothermic so the heat evolved maintains the temperature in the catalytic chamber.
