In Ostwald’s process for the manufacture of nitric acid, the first step involves the oxidation of ammonia gas by oxygen gas to give nitric oxide gas and steam. What is the maximum weight of nitric oxide that can be obtained starting only with 10.00 g. of ammonia and 20.00 g of oxygen?

What do you understand by electron-deficient? Provide justification with a suitable example.

What do you understand by electron-precise? Provide justification with a suitable example.

Consider the reaction:

\[\ce{6 CO2(g) + 6H2O(l) → C6 H12O6(aq) + 6O2(g)}\]

Why it is more appropriate to write these reaction as:

\[\ce{6CO2(g) + 12H2O(l) → C6 H12O6(aq) + 6H2O(l) + 6O2(g)}\]

Also, suggest a technique to investigate the path of the redox reactions.
