explain heating with carbon extraction method
iron oxide loses oxygen and is therefore reduced. carbon gains oxygen and is oxidised
for iron, carried out at high temperatures in a blast furnace
phytoextraction
plants absorb metal compounds through roots
concentrate compounds into their shoots and leaves
plants can be burned to produce an ash that contains these compounds
bacterial extraction
bacteria absorb metal compounds
produce solutions called leachate which contain them
scarp iron can be used to obtain metal from leachate
what is dynamic equilibrium
once the forward and backward reaction reach equilibrium, they keep goin
dynamic equilibrium with nitrogen and ammonia
nitrogen from air and hydrogen from natural gas or other sources
purified gases passed over catalyst or iron at a high temperature and pressure
some of hydrogen and nitrogen reacts to form ammonia
reaction is reversible so ammonia breaks down again into nitrogen and hydrogen
nitrogen + hydrogen -><- ammonia
what temperature for haber process
450 degreee C
what pressure for haber process
200 atmospheres
what catalyst you need for haber process
iron catalyst
what happens when increasing temperature equilibrium
goes in direction of endothermic reaction vica versa
pressure change on equilibrium
favours reaction that produces/reacts more moles on each side
