Q

what is le chatelier’s principle?

A

states that when a system at equilibrium experiences a change (in temperature, pressure or concentration), the system will respond by shifting the equilibrium position to counteract or minimise that change

Q

what temperature is the Haber process reacted at and why?

A

-450 degrees celsius (moderate)
-favours product formation
-compromise between:
-reaction rate needing heat
-equilibrium position preferring lower
temperature

Q

what pressure is the Haber process reacted at?

A

-200-300 atmospheres
-shifts equilibrium to the right (fewer gas
molecules on product side)
-increases ammonia yield

Q

describe heterogeneous catalysts

A

-separate solid phase from reactants
-can be reused more easily

17
Q

what state are homogenous catalysts typically?

A

aqueous

18
Q

what state are heterogenous catalysts typically?

A

solid with liquid/gas reactants

19
Q

in the Haber process for making ammonia, which metal acts as a catalyst?

A

iron

20
Q

name 3 reasons why catalysts are important industrially

A

-reduce energy costs
-increase reaction rates
-improve economic efficiency

21
Q

describe catalytic converters

A

-used in cars
-uses platinum and palladium catalysts
-converts harmful exhaust gases into less
harmful emissions
-reduces environmental pollution

22
Q

what are heterogenous catalysts used in?

A

catalytic converters

23
Q

what are homogenous catalysts used in?

A

chemical synthesis and polymer production

24
Q

what is the contact process and why is it important?

A

-S+O2 > SO2
-2So2 + O2 > 2SO3
(same conditions as Haber process)
-SO3 + H2O > H2SO4
-sulfuric acid is essential for fertilisers
