Haber Process Flashcards
What is a Dynamic Equilibrium
- A reversible reaction causes to change its ratio of reactants & products. - Substances move between the chemicals at an equal rate, meaning there is no net change.
Once opened it will…
Never go back
What is the chemical formula for Ammonia?
NH3
What is Ammonia Used for?
Hair Dye
How do you produce Ammonia?
Haber Process
What is the word equation for Ammonia?
Nitrogen + Hydrogen - Ammonia
Where do you get the nitrogen from?
Air
Where do you get the Oxygen form?
Electrolysis of Water
What type of reaction is it?
Exothermic reaction - gives out heat
If the temperature low this means that…
best amount of ammonia is produce as it favours the right. However, too slow for it to be manufactured
What is the temperature used?
350 - 450 degrees - Uses a higher temperature where a sufficient amount is produced at a moderate rate
What is the pressure used?
200 atmospheres
Why is 200 atmospheres used?
- Increase rate of reaction - Increase amount of ammonia - Any bigger will be dangerous
Why is there left over hydrogen and nitrogen?
The yield is not 100% efficient
Where does the left over Hydrogen and nitrogen go?
Is recycles back in
What is the Symbol equation for Ammonia?
