Q

why is there a recycling system in the haber process?

A

not all the nitrogen and hydrogen react, so they are sent back into the reaction vessel

Q

what affects the cost of making ammonia?

A 
building the plant
labour
chemicals
energy
catalyst (how fast its being made)
17
Q

what is ammonia used for?

A

over 80 per cent of all ammonia
nitric acid which goes into fertilisers
household cleaner

18
Q

what is bad about having a high pressure?

A

makes it work better but pipes and fittings have to be made from stronger steel

19
Q

what increases energy cost?

A

a higher temperature and more fuel

20
Q

what is bad about reducing pollution?

A

it costs

21
Q

what are antipollution laws?

A

mean that the chemicals cost a little bit more

22
Q

why is a low yield acceptable?

A

if the daily output of the product is high enough

23
Q

what is needed to make ammonia go through the pipes?

A

compressors and pumps
