C6.1 Flashcards
What deficiency causes poor growth and yellow leaves?
Nitrogen
What deficiency causes poor fruit growth and discoloured leaves?
Potassium
What deficiency causes poor root growth and discoloured leaves?
Phosphorus
What is the phosphate ion?
PO4 3-
What is the nitrate ion?
NO3 -
What is the ammonium ion?
NH4 +
Haber Process equation:
N2 (g) + 3H2 (g) <–>2NH3 (g)
How is nitrogen manufactured?
Fractional distillation of liquefied air
How is hydrogen manufactured?
Reacting natural gas with steam
Making potassium sulfate method (with reasoning): (4)
- Add few drops of phenolphthalein to potassium hydroxide solution
- Add dilute sulfuric acid and stop when it turns colourless
- Add charcoal (to remove indicator)
- Evaporate water (not to dryness)
Making ammonium sulfate method (with safety): (3)
- Add few drops of methyl orange to ammonia solution (take care breathing the toxic gas)
- Add dilute sulfuric acid and stop when it turns from yellow to red
- Add a little excess ammonia
- Evaporate water (not to dryness)
Batch process definition:
Small amount made at one time, that stops frequently
Continuous process definition:
Large amounts made that continue all the time
Haber process conditions: (3)
- 200 atmospheres (high for fewer moles)
- 450 degrees Celsius (low for exothermic reaction but high enough)
- Iron catalyst
What happens to the unreacted hydrogen and nitrogen?
They are recycled
