What is the Harber process?
The production of ammonia
1 of 9
What are Ammonias uses?
to make fertilisers and to make nitric acid
2 of 9
What is the chemical equation for the Harber process?
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
3 of 9
Where is the nitrogen in the harber process obtained from?
the air
4 of 9
Where is the hydrogen in the Harber process obtained from?
natural gas
5 of 9
What are the industrial conditions required in the harber process?
450 degrees, 200 atmospheres and an iron catalyst
6 of 9
What do you need for maximum yield?
low temperatures and high pressure
7 of 9
Why don't we use the conditions required for maximum yield?
they'd be too slow and expensive
8 of 9
How is the ammonia separated from the hydrogen and nitrogen?
it cools and liquifies and is removed from the nitrogen and hydrogen.
