What safety, cost, or other considerations prevent most industrial applications from using the most ideal conditions for high yield of the product?

It cost a lot of high pressure to make. Because of these two things: really strong vessels and pipes to hold it, and high pressure is costly and so is the plant

Under what temperature, pressure, and other conditions is this reaction typically carried out? How does this relate to the conditions you previously explained?

Use Le Châtelier’s principle to explain the conditions that favor the forward reaction.

Under temperature it’s been between 400 – 450 degrees Celsius. The pressure is 200; the catalyst is iron with so aluminum garnish. Without e ability to create ammonia, you can’t make fertilizer or explosives

If the reaction is under stress it will reach equilibrium then cause the production of products. The temperature should be low and the pressure to be high.

4. Write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction, including the energy term. Is it an endothermic or exothermic reaction

Provide a short paragraph providing some historical background. Why is, or was, this an important chemical process?

N2 + 3H2 -> 2NH3. It’s an exothermic reaction

It was for making ammonia for manufacturing explosives from hydrogen and nitrogen. It helped Germany during WW1. That’s why the war lasted longer. It introduced the power to synthesize ammonia which is now used for many other purposes.

Who developed or discovered this process? When? What country was he or she from? (Provide this information if you can find it.)

A German man named Fritz Harber discovered the process in the (early) 1900’s

Describe the process you researched, including its uses in various industrial or health fields.

Ammonia is created when you take nitrogen and hydrogen. It’s useful for agriculture and explosives. Its fertilizer to increase the amount of crops produced. For explosives, it a starting reactant for creating TNT, RDX, and Semtex.

Instructions:

For this assignment you will research one of the equilibrium systems below, or one approved by your instructor, and prepare a presentation describing the system.

• The Haber Process (or Haber-Bosch Process)

• The Contact Process

• The Ostwald Process

Begin by finding at least five different reliable sources of information about your chosen process. You may use textbooks, the Internet, or library books. These resources should be cited within your presentation and should be listed in a bibliography that is submitted with your project.
