the haber process

Question 1

hp def

Answer 1

industrial production of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen

Question 2

hp eq

Answer 2

N2 + 3H2 –> (reversible) 2NH3 ( + heat)

Question 3

use of ammonia

Answer 3

nitrogen based fertilisers
allows us to grow the food we need

Question 4

temp in hp

Answer 4

450’C
lower temp favours forward reaction ( exothermic)
-higher % yield
-high temp increases rate of reaction
-high temp costly
450 gives lower yield faster rate

Question 5

pressure of hp

Answer 5

higher % yield (fewer molecules of the product)
high pressure pushes equilibrium to the right
-increases RoR
-very high pressure is expensive to maintain and can be dangerous
