Ostwald Process, Harris Academy, Exothermic
The Ostwald process involves reacting ammonia with the oxygen in air to produce nitrogen dioxide. The nitrogen dioxide then reacts with water to produce nitric acid. The process requires a platinnum catalyst which glows red hot because the process is highly exothermic (releases a lot of heat energy). Photographed on 26 June 2006.
