AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around the production of ammonia from nitrogen oxides, specifically NO2 or NO. A user recalls a process but struggles to find the correct equation, mistakenly associating it with the Haber process. Another participant suggests an unbalanced equation: NO2 + H2O → O2 + NH3, while expressing uncertainty about the relevance of the question to homework. The conversation shifts to the nitration of ammonia, with a participant providing a chemical equation: 4NH3 + 5O2 <--> 6H2O + 4NO, though they express confusion over the concept of nitration in this context. The tone remains light-hearted, with some humor about the complexities of the chemical processes discussed.

Hi guys, i remember there is a process that produce ammonia from nitrogen oxides, either NO2 or NO but i couldn't remember the equation and couldn't find it online, all i get was haber process when the word ammonia is there. Anyone have any idea?

I'm not sure, but this might be against the forum guidelines, since gaseous ammonia can be pretty dangerous. Why exactly are you interested in this process?
 
You might be looking for this (unbalanced) equation:
NO2 + H2O → O2 + NH3
 
Sorry am still a student, but i thought this question might not fit into the homework area, what i was actually looking for was Nitration of Ammonia to form Nitrogen Oxide hehe.

4NH3 + 5O2 <---> 6H2O + 4NO
 
Nitration of ammonia? It doesn't make much sense.

But it is, of course, funny! It makes me laugh...
 
It would be even funnier with N2O between products.

Yes, but not as relaxing.
