Answer:

Solution:

The Ostwald process prepares nitric acid (HNO₃) through the catalytic oxidation of ammonia (NH₃). The first step involves the oxidation of ammonia to nitric oxide (NO) using a platinum-rhodium catalyst.

The balanced chemical equation for this initial step is:

$4 NH_{3} (g) + 5 O_{2} (g) Pt / R h c a t a l ys t 4 NO (g) + 6 H_{2} O (g)$
