The Haber process

Cards (4)

  • What are the conditions of the haber process?
    • Iron catalyst
    • 450C
    • pressure of 200 atmospheres
  • Temperature
    • forward reaction is exothermic
    • lowering temperature would increase yield but decrease the rate of reaction
  • pressure
    • fewer gas molecules on the product side
    • increasing pressure would increase yield and rate of reaction but it is very expensive to do so
  • catalyst
    • effective catalyst
    • does not increase yield
    • increases rate of reaction
