In the industrial Ostwald process for manufacturing Nitric acid, which catalyst is employed during the step-wise oxidation of Ammonia to Nitric oxide?
Q1. In the industrial Ostwald process for manufacturing Nitric acid, which catalyst is employed during the step-wise oxidation of Ammonia to Nitric oxide?
Answer: Platinum-Rhodium gauge
Explanation: The Ostwald process uses Platinum-Rhodium catalyst to oxidize ammonia; Iron is tempting because it is used in the Haber process instead.
