Chemistry - Habour Process

?
What is made during this process?
Ammonia
1 of 36
How is amonia made?
Three hydrogen and one nitrogen
2 of 36
Complete equation for ammonia: N2 + 3H ->
2NH3
3 of 36
How many mols are formed of ammonia?
2
4 of 36
It can also break down to form hydrogen gas because it's a __ reaction
Reverable
5 of 36
Meaning it will never go to ____tion
Completion
6 of 36
What is ammonia mainly used for?
As fertilizer
7 of 36
Because we've found a cheap and easy way to make ammonia, the amount of crop yields ___
Increase (this has meant increase in population)
8 of 36
Why is nitrogen easy to get?
It makes up most of the air (78%)
9 of 36
Why do we use nitrogen?
It's unreactive and plants cant use it so we need to react it with something that plants can use
10 of 36
Nitrogen requires high ___/___ to react
Temperature/pressure
11 of 36
Where do we get hydrogen from?
made by steam reforming of natural gas
12 of 36
Is it a renewable method?
No. It's non-renewable
13 of 36
We can also get hydrogen from ____ waste or the ____ of water.
biological waste. Electrolysis of water (expensive. only renewable if use a renewable source like wind)
14 of 36
These methods are both r___
Renewable
15 of 36
The reaction to produce ammonia occurs at ___ temperature
room.
16 of 36
This means its very happens at a ___ rate
Slow
17 of 36
The haber process uses t___, p____ and c___ to speed up reaction
temperature, pressure, catalysis
18 of 36
Since it's a reversible reaction, we want to shift the reaction towards the ___ to make more of it
products (ammonia)
19 of 36
The reaction is __othermic as more energy is released then absorbed
exothermic
20 of 36
This means ___ temperatures are better to form ammonia
Lower
21 of 36
How many mols react to form the two mols of annomia? (H3 + N)
4
22 of 36
This means, pressure should be ___ to increase yeild
Higher
23 of 36
In the process, we have the nitrogen from ___ and hydrogen from ___
Nitrogen from air. Hydrogen from natural gas.
24 of 36
They're mixed together (in a 3:1 ratio) and they're h____ and p___
heated and pressurized
25 of 36
Its heated to ___
450 degrees
26 of 36
They're compressed to a pressure of __
200atm
27 of 36
They are the introduced to reaction vessel and out the vessel will be...
a mixture of all three gasses
28 of 36
The vessel has an __ catalyst
iron
29 of 36
It's cooled down and so ammonia ____, forming a liquid that can be extracted
condenses
30 of 36
Because there's still loads of nitrogen and hydrogen present, they are...
heated back up and pressurized back into reaction vessel
31 of 36
Why is a high pressure used?
It increases the yeild
32 of 36
What are the disadvantages of this? (why don't we go higher?)
Expensive, dangerous
33 of 36
Why is 450 degrees used fro temperature? (high temp)
Although it gives lower yield, it speeds reaction up, activates catalysts
34 of 36
Why is an iron cataslys used?
Speeds up reaction, iron isn't fastest but is cheap (efficient)
35 of 36
The process is a compromise between yield, c__, and r__ of r___
cost and rete of reaction
