Q. Nitric acid is the most important oxi-acid formed by nitrogen. It is one of the major industrial chemicals and is widely used. Nitric acid is manufactured by the catalytic oxidation of ammonia that is known as Ostwald Process which can be represented by sequence of reactions shown below

4 N H_{3} + 5 O_{2} (g) C a t a l y s t - ---- \to P t / R h 4 N O (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g) . . . (i)
