Chemical processes in industry require monitoring and management to maximise production[/cs_text][/cs_column][/cs_row][/cs_section][cs_section parallax=”false” separator_top_type=”none” separator_top_height=”50px” separator_top_angle_point=”50″ separator_bottom_type=”none” separator_bottom_height=”50px” separator_bottom_angle_point=”50″ style=”margin: 0px;padding: 45px 0px;”][cs_row inner_container=”true” marginless_columns=”false” style=”margin: 0px auto;padding: 0px;”][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/2″ style=”padding: 0px;”][cs_text]Students learn to:

• identify and describe the industrial uses of ammonia
• identify that ammonia can be synthesised from its component gases, nitrogen and hydrogen
• describe that synthesis of ammonia occurs as a reversible reaction that will reach equilibrium
• identify the reaction of hydrogen with nitrogen as exothermic
• explain why the rate of reaction is increased by higher temperatures
• explain why the yield of product in the Haber process is reduced at higher temperatures using Le Chatelier’s principle
• explain why the Haber process is based on a delicate balancing act involving reaction energy, reaction rate and equilibrium
• explain that the use of a catalyst will lower the reaction temperature required and identify the catalyst(s) used in the Haber process
• analyse the impact of increased pressure on the system involved in the Haber process
• explain why monitoring of the reaction vessel used in the Haber process is crucial and discuss the monitoring required

• gather and process information from secondary sources to describe the conditions under which Haber developed the industrial synthesis of ammonia and evaluate its significance at that time in world history
