1.3
3 (i) In the Haber process for the production of ammonia, the following reaction occurs:
3H2(g)
2NH3(g)
AH is negative
N2 (g) +
If the equilibrium concentrations for all the reactants and products at 600°C 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 500°C Kc
0.062 mol-2dm. Compare this value to the one you calculated in 3(i) above and state
whether the yield of ammonia is greater at 500°C or 600°C and briefly explain your choice.
