Q

Why does equilibrium shift to the endothermic side if temperature is increased

A

18
Q

Where does equilibrium shift to if pressure is increased?

A

To the side with the least moles
Yield on the side with the least moles increases (presumably the rate of the reaction towards this side increases therefore?)

19
Q

What does the haber process do?

A

Method for the industrial production of ammonia

20
Q

What is the forward reaction in the haber process

A

Exothermic

21
Q

What is the reaction for the haber process

A

(g)N2 + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g)

22
Q

Give 2 ways the rate of reaction is I ncreased

A

Iron catalyst
High temperature

23
Q

Why is temperature decreased

A

To increase Exothermic (forward) direction yield - increase ammonia yield

24
Q

Why is pressure increased

A

Increase yield on the side with fewer moles (ammonia side)

25
Q

What pressure is the haber process done at?

A

200 atmospheres

26
Q

What temperature is teh haber process done at

A

450 degrees

27
Q

Remaining hydrogen and nitrogen from the haber process is ___

A

Recycled

28
Q

On cooling, ___ ammonia is removed

A

Liquid

29
Q

Give the method for measuring rate of reaction by measuring volume of gas produced

A
  1. Measure 50 ml of HCl into a conical flask using a measuring cylinder
  2. Add a 1g strip of magnesium into the conical flask
  3. Start the stopwatch and record volume of gas release using a gas syringe every 10 seconds for 1 minute
  4. Ploy results on a graph of product formed over time and find the gradient to calculate rate of reaction
    R. Repeat with different acid concentrations
30
Q

Give a method for finding rate of reaction by checking for colour change

A
  1. Measure 50 ml of sodium thiosulfate solution into a conical flask with a measuring cylinder
  2. Place the conical flask on top of a printed black cross
  3. Measure 20ml HCl Ito a test tube and heat to 40 degrees with a water bath
  4. Add teh HCl, swirl and start the timer
  5. Time how long it takes for the cross to disappear by looking from above
  6. Repeat for other temperatures of HCl
  7. Plot a graph of temperature of reactants and rate of reaction (how long it took)

37
Q

How is phosphorus obtained

A

From mined phosphate rock

38
