Reduce environmental damage

28
Q

What is the haber process

A

Manufacturing of amino using hydrogen and nitrogen

29
Q

What are the two main materials used in the haber process

A

Hydrogen and nitrogen

30
Q

How is ammonia made from hydrogen and nitrogen

A

Both nitrogen and hydrogen are passed over an IRON CATALYST and the amount is then put in a condenser to cool and turn into a liquid, the untracked hydrogen and nitrogen is recycled

Q

What pressure haber process

A

200

33
Q

What does increasing the pressure of haber process do

A

Increases rate of reaction but dangerous

34
Q

What would a higher temp do to haber process

A

Faster reaction but low yield and would shift the equilibrium to the reactants
