Chapter 15.6, Problem 1Q
Anhydrous ammonia is used directly as a fertilizer, but much of it is also converted to other fertilizers such as ammonium nitrate and urea.
- a. Write a balanced equation for the conversion of ammonia to ammonium nitrate.
- b. Urea is formed in the reaction of ammonia and CO2.
2 NH3(g) + CO2(g) ⇄ (NH2)2CO(s) + H2O(g)
Would high pressure favor urea production? Would high temperature? ΔfH° for solid urea = −333.1 kJ/mol-rxn). Explain your answers.
