28
Q

Why is an LCA is not a purely objective process. What can this cause?

A

-Allocating numerical values to
pollutant effects is less straightforward and requires value judgements
-Use of water, resources, energy sources and production of some wastes can be fairly easily quantified.
=>Selective or abbreviated LCAs can be devised to evaluate a product
but these can be misused to reach pre-determined conclusions, eg
in support of claims for advertising purposes.

A

produce nitrogen-based fertilisers

66
Q

Whatare the 2 reactants used in the Habour process? WHere are they supplyed from?

A

nitrogen-> air
hydrogen-> natural gass

67
Q

What temprature and presure is the Haber process dones at?

A

High temperature->about 450°C
High pressure->about 200
atmospheres

68
Q

Whta type of catalyst is used in the Habour process

A

catalyst of iron

69
Q

Whta type of reaction is the Haber process? Explian what this means.

A

reaction is reversible so some of the ammonia produced breaks down into nitrogen and hydrogen

70
Q

What is the word equation for the Harbour process?

A
71
Q

Descibe the Habour process

A

N2+3H2 ⇌ 2NH3

72
Q

What happens to the position of the equalibrum whe the presure is increased?

A

Moves to the side with less moles N2+3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
More product produces

73
Q

What is the temp trade off?

A

N2+3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
-Foward reaction = exothermic
Increasing tmeprature increases rate of raction wich shift equalibrum to the left decresing yeild
-trade off between rate of raction and yeild
-exceee enrgy can heat up other parts of rection or make electricity

74
Q

What is the trade off interms of presure?

A

N2+3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
Increasing prsure increses yeril but high presure is very expensive

75
Q

How can recycleing Hdrogena nd nitrogen reduce cost

A

less new raw material needed= less cost

76
Q

Describe te Habour process

A

The purified gases are passed over a catalyst of iron at a high
temperature (about 450°C) and a high pressure (about 200
atmospheres). Some of the hydrogen and nitrogen reacts to form
ammonia. The reaction is reversible so some of the ammonia
produced breaks down into nitrogen and hydrogen
=>On cooling, the ammonia liquefies and is removed. The remaining
hydrogen and nitrogen are recycled.

77
Q

WHta caon amiona be used tot manufacture?

A

ammonium salts and nitric
acid

78
Q

->phosphate rock ( cann’t be used dircetly a

81
Q

How are Phosphate rock is treated so they can be used as fertilisers?

A

treated with nitric acid or sulfuric acid

82
Q

How do we make amonium sulfate in lab?

A

1.25 cm3 of ammonia solution is measured using a measuring cylinder or volumetric pipette and poured into a conical flask.
2.Two drops of methyl orange indicator are added. This will turn yellow in the alkaline ammonia solution.
3.Dilute sulfuric acid is added from a burette slowly until the methyl orange indicator turns orange. If too much acid is added it will turn red.
4.The volume of sulfuric acid which has been added is recorded, and then the neutral solution of ammonium sulfate which contains the indicator is thrown away.
5.The experiment is repeated without the indicator but with the same volumes of ammonia and sulfuric acid.
6. The ammonium sulfate is crystallised by evaporating the water and drying the crystals in an oven or desiccator.

83
Q

from mining KCl and K2SO4

84
Q

85
Q

What salts are manufactured from phosphate rock and how?

A

-single superphosphate (made by reacting phosphate rock with sulfuric acid)
-triple superphosphate (made by reacting phosphate rock with nitric acid to make phosphoric acid and then reacting the phosphoric acid with phosphate rock)
-ammonium phosphate (made by reacting phosphate rock with nitric acid to make phosphoric acid and then reacting the phosphoric acid with ammonia)
