Chemistry · Secondary 4 · Medium · Ammonia and the Haber process
In the Haber Process, iron is used in a finely divided form in the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen.
Why is the iron used in this form?
Why is the iron used in this form?
- It provides a larger surface area so the catalysed reaction is faster.
- It increases the equilibrium yield of ammonia.
- It lowers the pressure needed to obtain a reasonable yield.
- It shifts the equilibrium to favour nitrogen.
