Chemistry In Industry Flashcards
For haber process where do u get nitrogen from
Frozen air (liquid air)
Haber process makes what from what
Ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen
For haber process where do u get hydrogen
Natural gas
For haber process state 3 conditions
450•c
200atm
Iron catalyst
For haber process how is ammonia separated from unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen
Cooled. Ammonia liquifies first
Uses of ammonia (5)
Making Fertilisers Explosives Nitric acid Nylon Also used as fertiliser alone
Making nitric acid
4NH3 + 5O2 ———> 4NO + 6H2O
Platinum
4NO + 2H2O + 3O2 ——–> 4HNO3
Making fertilisers
Hydrochloric acid + ammonia ---> ammonium chloride HCl + NH3 -----> NH4Cl Neutralisation Or use nitric acid (NH4NO3) Or use sulphuric acid ((NH4)2SO4)
How to obtain hydrogen
Natural gas and steam
Methane + water —-> hydrogen + carbon monoxide
How to obtain nitrogen
Fractional distillation of frozen air
Things u need to extract aluminium
Bauxite Al2O3
Cryolite Na3AlF6
What process extracts aluminium
Electrolysis
For extracting aluminium the anode is where and made of what
Sticks down, graphite
For extracting aluminium the cathode is where and is made of what
Round the edges, graphite
For extracting aluminium what happens at the anode
2O2- —–> O2 + 4e-
For extracting aluminium what’s happens at the cathode
Al3+ +3e- —-> Al
For extracting aluminium why does the anodes/cathodes erode away
C + O2 —> CO2
Uses of Al
Saucepans
Pylon cables
Aircraft
How do u separate brine
Electrolysis
For electrolysis of brine what happens at the anode
2Cl- —-> Cl2 + 2e-
For electrolysis of brine what happens at the cathode
H+ + 2e- —–> H2
For electrolysis of brine what is left in solution
NaOH
Uses of NaOH
Soap
Bleach
Paper
Test for NaOH
Litmus goes purple
