Ruth,
I teach analytical chemistry at Portland State University on a
part-time basis. I am always looking for practical exam questions. This sounds
like a very good redox question if the answer you were seeking is no more than
the formation of NO2 from the reduction of Nitrogen. I don't remember the total
purex process well enough to give what is oxidized without looking it up (TBP
was the usual extracting agent).

Who had a much more complicated question on the Purex Process
from Professor Charles Coryell on his doctoral prelims at MIT in analytical
radiochemistry. |
