Maximising Production

Monitoring and Management‎ > ‎

Chemical processes in industry require monitoring and management to maximise production

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

Students:

  • 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
