Balance the following equatio in basic medium
`NH_3+O_2toNO_2H_2O`
In the commercial preparation of `HNO_3` by Ostwald process, the above reaction is carried out directly in the process, The above reaction is carried out directly in the gaseous state. Explian why the same equation describes the direct reaction and the reaction in basic medium?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`2H_2O+cancel(4e^(-))+underset(2x=0)(O_2)toundersetunderset(2x=-4)(2x+2=-2)(cancel(2overset(ɵ)(O))H+cancel(2overset(ɵ)(O))H]xx5`
`5cancel(overset(ɵ)(O))H+undersetunderset(x=-3)(x+3=0)(NH_3)toundersetunderset(x=2)(x-2=0)(NO)+5cancel(e^(-))+4H_2O]xx4`
`underline(5O_2+4NH_3to4NO+6H_2O)`
When the same products are produced from a given set of reactants, the equation will be the same no matter what the medium is.
