A) Oxidation of ammonia to form \[\text{HN}{{\text{O}}_{\text{3}}}\]
B) Hardening of oils
C) Production of synthetic rubber
D) Synthesis of methanol
Correct Answer: A
Solution :
Platinum acts as catalyst in the oxidation of ammonia to form nitric oxide. This reaction is used in the Ostwalds method of nitric acid preparation. \[4N{{H}_{3}}+5{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow[\text{750}{{\,}^{\text{o}}}\text{C}]{\text{Pt}}4NO+6{{H}_{2}}O\] \[2NO+{{O}_{2}}\xrightarrow{{}}2N{{O}_{2}}\] \[4N{{O}_{2}}+{{O}_{2}}+2{{H}_{2}}O\xrightarrow{{}}45N{{O}_{3}}\]
