Question
Answer
The Haber process is the manufacture of what?   Ammonia  
🗑
what two elements are needed to create ammonia?   nitrogen and hydrogen  
🗑
How can nitrogen be obtained?   from the air.  
🗑
how can hydrogen be obtained?   from natural gas or the cracking of hydrocarbons  
🗑
Is the reaction reversible or irreversible?   reversible  
🗑
the equilibirum position can be shifted to the right hand side to produce a:   a high yield of ammonia  
🗑
what conditions must be used in order to obtain a HIGH yield of ammonia?   low temperatures but high pressures  
🗑
However, what's wrong with using low temperatures?   the reaction is very slow  
🗑
so, what's the compromise to produce a high yield?   450 degrees celcius  
🗑
Also, what's wrong with using high pressures (and why)?   Very expensive as lots of energy would be required to compress the gases.  
🗑
so, what's the compromise?   pressure of 200atms is used.  
🗑
at 450 degrees, the reaction is still:   quite slow  
🗑
UNLESS,   a catalyst is used  
🗑
The most economical catalyst to use for this is what?   Iron  
🗑
Under these conditions, what percentage of ammonia is obtained?   15%  
🗑
What happens to the remaining nitrogen and hydrogen?   it is reused in the reaction  
🗑
what happens to the ammonia at the end of the reaction?   it leaves the reaction vessel, is cooled down, liquefied and is then tapped off.  
🗑
3 uses of ammonia?   the manufacture of fertilizers, nitric acid and nylon  
🗑
