Question

3 (i) In the Haber process for the production of ammonia, the following reaction occurs:

 

N2 (g)    +          3H2 (g)                          2NH3 (g)           DH is negative

 

If the equilibrium concentrations for all the reactants and products at 6000C are:

[N2] = 0.40 mol/dm3, [H2] = 1.20 mol/dm3 and [NH3] = 0.20 mol/ dm3

Construct an expression for Kc and calculate the numerical value of the equilibrium constant, Kc                                                              

                                                  

 

 

(ii) At 5000C Kc = 0.062 mol-2dm6. Compare this value to the one you calculated in 3(i) above and state whether the yield of ammonia is greater at 5000C or 6000C and briefly explain your choice.
