Haber Process

Question 1

Raw materials for the Haber process?

Answer 1

Nitrogen, hydrogen

Question 2

What is the product of the haber process?

Answer 2

Ammonia

Question 3

Word equation for reaction?

Answer 3

Nitrogen+ hydrogen <> ammonia

Question 4

Conditions for reaction?

Answer 4

200atm and 450 degrees and iron catalyst

Question 5

Why is the Haber process important?

Answer 5

Used in agriculture to produce ammonia fertilisers which can be applied for crops to grow

Question 6

Why the conditions?

Answer 6

The lower the yield the faster the reaction, we use 450 degrees so particles have more energy so therefore more frequent collisions, increasing rate of reaction.

Question 7

Best pressure for reaction?

Answer 7

200atm (atmospheres) not as dangerous as 400 as at this pressure it may explode.

Question 8

If reaction is increased 600 degrees?

Answer 8

Positioned shifts to favour endothermic reaction, more nitrogen and hydrogen produced less ammonia.
