Solution

Ostwald's process was used for large scale generation of HNO₃. This process is based upon the catalytic oxidation of NH₃ by atmospheric oxygen.
$4 N H_{3} (g) + 5 O_{2} \to_{500 K, 9 b a r}^{P t / R h g a u g e c a t a l y s t} 4 N O (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g)$
$2 N O (g) + O_{2} (g) ⇋ 2 N O_{2} (g)$
$3 N O_{2} (g) + H_{2} O (l) \to 2 H N O_{3} (a q) + N O (g)$
