Quartz is used in the Ostwald process because this element is acid-resistant and helps in the absorption of nitrogen dioxide in water in a uniform manner when packed in layers.

Explanation:

  • The Ostwald process works in two stages and converts ammonia into nitric acid.
  • Ammonia gets oxidised to create nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide and later the same nitrogen dioxide is ready to get absorbed in water.
  • It is an important process as it gives us nitrate ions which is a necessary ingredient for many fertilizers.
