Answer

(a) Conditions required for the conversion of ammonia to nitric oxide in presence of air are:

  1. Temperature should be around 800°C.
  2. Catalyst used is Platinum.
  3. Reaction:
    4NH3 + 5O2 800°CPt.\xrightarrow[800 \degree \text{C}]{\text{Pt}.} 4NO↑ + 6H2O + Δ
    2NO + O2 ⟶ 2NO2 (brown gas)

(b) Conditions required for the conversion of hydrogen chloride to chlorine are:

  1. Temperature should be above 500°C.
  2. Reaction:
    2HCl >500°C\xrightarrow{\gt 500 \degree\text{C}} H2 + Cl2

(c) Conditions required for the conversion of sodium bisulphate to sodium sulphate

  1. Temperature should be above 200°C.
  2. Reaction:
    NaNO3 + NaHSO4 >200°C\xrightarrow{\gt 200 \degree\text{C}} Na2SO4 + HNO3
