4. the harber process

?
Define reversible reaction:
This is when in a reaction the the product can react themselves to produce the original reactant
1 of 11
Define the equilibrium:
When the amount of reactants and products being produced is at a balance
2 of 11
What conditions has the a reversible reaction have to be in for a state of equilibrium?
A closed system
3 of 11
If the temperature is raised what happens to the reversible reaction?
The endothermic direction would increase
4 of 11
What happens to the reversible reaction if the pressure is lowered?
The direction with the most volume will increase
5 of 11
Why are catalysts used ?
To speed up both direction of the reaction by the same amount
6 of 11
Where is the nitrogen and hydrogen gained in the harber process?
Nitrogen - air, hydrogen - natural gas / crude oils
7 of 11
what are the industrial conditions for the harber process?
Pressure - 200 atmospheres, temperature - 450 oc, catalyst - iron
8 of 11
Why is 1000 atmospheres used for the harber process?
Because it would be too expensive to build a container that can hold 1000 atmospheres
9 of 11
Why is a high temperature used?
Because a high temperature produces yield at a quicker rate than a lower temperature
10 of 11
What happens to the unused nitrogen and hydrogen?
It is recycled
