Nitric acid, HNO3, can be produced by reacting high-pressure ammonia (NH3) gas with oxygen gas at around 750° C in the presence of a catalyst.  Water is a by-product of the reaction.  Write the chemical equation for this process.   (Ignore balancing) Classify the reaction. Also if this reaction is a redox reaction identify the reduction process and the oxidation process as well as labelling the oxidizing and reducing agents
