In the Ostwald process, the product obtained after carrying out the reaction between ammonia and oxygen is called:
Nitric oxide
Nitrogen dioxide
Nitric acid
Nitrogen monoxide
Step 1: Ammonia oxidation to nitric oxide
Step 2: Nitric oxide oxidation to nitrogen dioxide
Step 3: Nitrogen dioxide absorption in water to form nitric acid
These reactions represent the key steps involved in the Ostwald process, where ammonia is sequentially oxidized to nitric oxide and then to nitrogen dioxide. Finally, nitrogen dioxide reacts with water to form nitric acid.
