20. The Haber-Bosch process, devised in the early 20th century, revolutionized global industry. It provides a way of "fixing" atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, allowing for the production of fertilizers and the many nitrogen- based chemicals we use today. The reaction is carried out in numerous industrial facilities all over the world: N4(g) + 3H4(g) → 2NH (g) AH < 0 a. Write a Keq equation for the reaction. b. Under what conditions would this reaction ideally take place? Explain three different factors or considerations that would help increase the production of ammonia.
Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry can be considered as a branch of thermodynamics that deals with the connections between warmth, work, and various types of energy, formed because of different synthetic and actual cycles. Thermochemistry describes the energy changes that occur as a result of reactions or chemical changes in a substance.
Exergonic Reaction
The term exergonic is derived from the Greek word in which ‘ergon’ means work and exergonic means ‘work outside’. Exergonic reactions releases work energy. Exergonic reactions are different from exothermic reactions, the one that releases only heat energy during the course of the reaction. So, exothermic reaction is one type of exergonic reaction. Exergonic reaction releases work energy in different forms like heat, light or sound. For example, a glow stick releases light making that an exergonic reaction and not an exothermic reaction since no heat is released. Even endothermic reactions at very high temperature are exergonic.
