Nitric acid can be produced from the reaction of ammonia with oxygen according to the equation: 4 NH3 (8) + 5 02 (8) 4 NO (g) + 6 H₂O (8) 1 mol/min of ammonia and 7 mol/min of air (79% N₂, 21% O2) enters the reactor at 70 °C. 75% conversion of ammonia is achieved inside the reactor and no side reactions occur. Calculate the heat requirement if the temperature of the gas leaving the reactor is 500 °C.

Question
Nitric acid can be produced from the reaction of ammonia with oxygen according to the equation: 4 NH3 (8) + 5 02 (g) - 4 NO (8) + 6 H20 (8) 1 mol/min of ammonia and 7 mol/min of air (79% N2 21% O2) enters the reactor at 70 °C. 75% conversion of ammonia is achieved inside the reactor and no side reactions occur. Calculate the heat requirement if the temperature of the gas leaving the reactor is 500 °C.
