(a) Conditions required for the conversion of potassium nitrate to potassium bisulphate are:
- Temperature of the reaction should not exceed 200°C.
- All glass apparatus should be used.
- Reaction:
KNO3 + H2SO4 KHSO4 + HNO3
(b) Conditions required for the conversion of nitrogen and hydrogen to ammonia are:
- Temperature should be between 450-500°C.
- Pressure should be above 200 atm.
- Catalyst used is finely divided iron.
- Promoter used is traces of molybdenum or Al2O3.
- Reaction:
N2 + 3H2 2NH3 + Δ
(c) Conditions required for the conversion of ammonia to nitric oxide are:
- Temperature should be around 800°C.
- Catalyst used is Platinum.
- Reaction:
4NH3 + 5O2 4NO↑ + 6H2O + Δ
2NO + O2 ⟶ 2NO2 (brown gas)
