For a reversible reaction in a closed system, when is equilibrium reached?
When the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction and the amount of reactants and products remain constant
2 of 20
What happens when you increase the concentration of a reactant?
It will cause more products to be formed as the system tries to achieve equilibrium
3 of 20
What happens if a product is removed?
More reactants will react to try and achieve equilibrium so more product is formed
4 of 20
What happens if we change the conditions of a system at equilibrium?
The position of equilibrium shifts as if to try cancel out the change

If the forward reaction produces more molecules of gas, what happens if there is an increase of pressure?
There is a decrease in the amount of products formed

If the forward reaction is exothermic what happens if the temperature increases?
There is a decrease in the amount of products formed

What is the Haber process used to manufacture?
Ammonia which can be used to make fertilisers
14 of 20
What are the conditions for the production of ammonia?
450C, pressure of 200 atmospheres and an iron catalyst
15 of 20
What is the yield of ammonia?
15%
16 of 20
What is the optimum pressure for the Haber process?
The products have fewer molecules of gas than the reactants, so the higher the pressure is, the greater the yield of ammonia
17 of 20
Why are very high pressures not used for the Haber process?
Because the higher the pressure is, the ore energy is needed to compress the gas and they need stronger reaction vessels and pipes which increase costs
18 of 20
What is the optimum temperature for the Haber process?
The forward reaction is exothermic, so the lower the temperature, the greater the yield of ammonia
19 of 20
Why are low temperatures not used for the Haber process?
The rate of reaction decreases as the temperature is lowered and the iron catalyst becomes ineffective so it would take a longer time to produce any ammonia
