The products have fewer ........ than reactants
Molecules of gas
1 of 8
So the higher the pressure...
The greater yield of ammonia
2 of 8
Why is the higher pressure bad?
More energy needed to compress the gas
3 of 8
So they need...
Stronger reaction vessels and pipes which increases cost
4 of 8
To produce greatest yield of ammonia, the temperatures need to be?
Lower
5 of 8
This is because...
The forward reaction is exothermic
6 of 8
HOWEVER, too low a temperature is bad because...
The reaction rate decreases and the iron catalyst becomes ineffective
7 of 8
So...
This would take a longer time to produce any ammonia
