The Haber Process Flashcards

All 7 cards in this deck

What is the balanced equation for the formation of ammonia in the Haber process?

N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)\mathrm{N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g)}

Where is the nitrogen for the Haber process obtained from?

From the air.

Where is the hydrogen for the Haber process obtained from?

From natural gas.

What temperature is used in the Haber process?

450 °C

What pressure is used in the Haber process?

200 atmospheres

What catalyst is used in the Haber process?

Iron.

True or false? In the Haber process all the nitrogen and hydrogen are converted into ammonia.

False. The reaction is reversible and reaches a dynamic equilibrium, so only some is converted.
