The Haber process (Paper 1) Flashcards
1
Q
What is the formula for the haber process?
A
N2+3h2 = 2NH3 (+heat) (reversible reaction)
2
Q
What is the operating pressure for the Haber process?
A
200 atmospheres (for the best yield)
3
Q
What temperature is the Haber process carried out at?
A
450°C (The forward reaction is exothermic so increasing temperature will move the equilibrium the wrong way but lower temperatures mean lower react of reaction so in industry it is increased anyway)
4
Q
What is an example of a catalyst for the Haber process?
A
The Iron catalyst
