C5 - shit from gizmo idk Flashcards
what is molar volume at room temperature and pressure?
24dm^3
what is room pressure?
1 atmosphere
how do you calculate the volume of gas at RTP?
volume (dm^3) = number of moles * 24
what does increasing pressure do to the position of equilibrium in a dynamic reversible reaction?
favours the side with fewer moles of gas
what does increasing the concentration of reactants do to the position of equilibrium in a dynamic reversible reaction?
shifts the equilibrium to the right
what is le chatelier’s principle?
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
if the temperature is increased in an endothermic equilibrium, what will happen?
the equilibrium will shift to the right to absorb the extra heat
if the temperature is increased in an exothermic equilibrium, what will happen?
the equilibrium will shift to the left to release heat
if the pressure is increased in an equilibrium, what will happen?
the equilibrium will shift towards the side with less moles
what is the equation for the Haber process?
N2+3H2 <-> 2NH3
what temperature is the Haber process reacted at and why?
-450 degrees celsius (moderate)
-favours product formation
-compromise between:
-reaction rate needing heat
-equilibrium position preferring lower
temperature
what pressure is the Haber process reacted at?
-200-300 atmospheres
-shifts equilibrium to the right (fewer gas
molecules on product side)
-increases ammonia yield
why is the Haber process important?
produces fertilisers, which increases agricultural productivity
describe concentration in the industrialised Haber process
-excess hydrogen shifts equilibrium right
-increases ammonia production
-reduces unreacted nitrogen waste
describe homogenous catalysts
-intimately mixed with reactants
-easier to control reaction conditions
