haber prsocess Flashcards
acid +ammonia=
fretilliser
what are the compromise conditions for the Haber process
iron catalyst
atm =200
temperature =450 c
what is the contact process
the production of sulphuric acid
what is a reversible reaction
a reaction that is able to go both ways
this means that the products of the reaction are able to react together to produce the reactants
how much energy is transferred each way
the same amount
equation for the Haber process
hydrogen+nitrogen=ammonia
chemical equation for Haber process
n2 +3h2=2nh3
where can we find hydrogen
natural gas
where can we find nitrogen
the air
what does a catalyst do
speeds up a reaction with out the products being used up
name all the parts of an ammonia processor in order
add
nitrogen
then hydrogen
mix it in the mixer
compressor
chamber
underacted gas recycled
then ammonia is made
then its chilled
what happens when you have a low temperature and very high pressure
low temperature mean the rate of reaction will be too slow so there will be a low yield
high pressure is really expensive
how do you test for ammonia give its ionic equation
react it with sodium hydroxide the pass the gas through red litmus paper if it turns blue then
it means ammonia is present
NH4+(aq) + OH+ +NH3 (g) +h2o(l)
tell me all the steps of making sulphuric acid
sulphur is roasted in oxygen
S +O2 ——->so2
then the sulphur dioxide reacts with more o2
so2 +o2 ———>2so3
then they react the sulphur tri oxide with sulphuric acid to make ole um
2so3 +h2so4 —–> 4 h2so4 this is a dehydrating agent
what does dehydrating agent mean
it can remove water molecules from substances
