The Haber-Bosch process has been used since 1913 to produce ammonia, which is used to make fertilizers. This has allowed food production to keep up with rapid population growth (1.8 billion in 1913, >7 billion today). The reaction is given below: 3 H2 (g) + N2 (g) = 2 NH3 (g) AH° = -91.8kJ Assuming the system is at equilibrium, how would each of the following changes shift the equilibrium? If the position of the equilibrium is unaffected, what effect would the change have? a. increasing the temperature b. removing NH3 c. increasing the total pressure by compressing the gases d adding a catalyyt

Consider the following equilibrium: 2NO₂ (g) N₂O₂(g) AG=-5.4 kJ Now suppose a reaction vessel is filled with 0.316 atm of nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) at 708. "C. Answer the following questions about this system: Under these conditions, will the pressure of NO₂ tend to rise or fall? Is it possible to reverse this tendency by adding N₂O₂? In other words, if you said the pressure of NO₂ will tend to rise, can that be changed to a tendency to fall by adding N₂O? Similarly, if you said the pressure of NO₂ will tend to fall, can that be changed to a tendency to rise by adding N₂O? If you said the tendency can be reversed in the second question, calculate the minimum pressure of N₂O₂ needed to reverse it. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. rise O fall O yes O no atm 0.8 X
