Explain the catalyzed oxidation of ammonia

Reference no: EM13491472

The first step in industrial nitric acid production is the catalyzed oxidation of ammonia. Without a catalyst, a different reaction predominates: 4NH3(g) + 3O2(g) ? 2N2(g) + 6H2O(g) When 0.0230 mol gaseous NH3 and 0.0250 mol gaseous O2 are placed in a 1.00 L container at a certain temperature, the N2 concentration at equilibrium is 2.20×10-3 M. Calculate Keq for the reaction at this temperature.
