Hydrochloric Acid Burner Process: Chlorine and Hydrogen react to form Hydrogen Chloride H 2 + Cl 2 2 HCl (+184 KJ) The gases are passed through a burner nozzle They are ignited inside a combustion chamber (chamber is made of graphite) The chamber is cooled by water such that the HCl gas produced cools down and absorbed into water to make HCl acid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HJvn-rH_lLQ&ab_channel=IITKharagpurJuly2018 https://www.essentialchemicalindustry.org/chemicals/hydrogen-chloride.html

Nitric Acid / Aqua fortis / Oxy-acid of Nitrogen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rjuA6d8LL1w&ab_channel=COLLEGECHEMISTRY OSTWALD’s Process: Step 01: Oxidation of NH 3 to NO NH 3 + excess air NO (Catalytic chamber (Pt) / Converter) To ensure up to 95% of NH 3 converts to NO: Temperature: 550 – 600C Pressure: 4 – 5 atm Excess of Oxygen Pt catalyst NO is passed through chiller with temperature 150C
OSTWALD’s Process: Step 02: Oxidation of NO to NO 2 Step 03: Formation of HNO 3 NO 2 enters the absorption tower where NO 2 is absorbed by water Laboratory preparation of nitric acid KNO 3 + H 2 SO 4 KHSO 4 + HNO 3 NaNO 3 + H 2 SO 4 NaHSO 4 HNO 3
