For this problem, we are wanting to know how we can obtain nitric acid, which is hno3 directly by reacting what with water.
00:11
So we have water plus something will give us hno3.
00:18
Now this is a synthesis reaction where we're taking two reactants and putting them together to form one product.
00:27
So two reactants, one product.
00:34
So in this case, we would look at our options if it was n2.
00:40
This is not going to work out nicely for us.
00:43
We wouldn't end up with extra h's in order to get our three o's.
00:48
So we can cancel out n2 as an option.
00:51
If it was no, we would still have not enough oxygens available for all of, we need a different ratio of those...
