The Haber process is used to manufacture ammonia. Explain the optimum conditions for this reaction and why these conditions may not be used in industry

N 2 (g)+3H 2 (g) ⇋ 2NH 3 (g) ΔH=-92kJmol -1 (equation for question above) According to Le Chatelier's principle, a system in dynamic equilibrium will shift the position of equilibrium to minimise the change ...

State why it is initially unexpected for alkenes to undergo electrophilic addition with bromine. Explain why this reaction does indeed occur.

Bromine exists as Br 2 , and since both bromine atoms are identical - their electronegativities identical, - the electron density is distributed evenly across the molecule (it is non-polar, the atoms have eq...

Explain the trend in first ionization energy down group 2. (3 marks)

The trend in first ionisation energy down a group: DECREASES due to:- Increase in atomic radius as there are more shells- Increased shielding because there is more electron repulsion from inner shells- This ...

The Haber process is used to produce ammonia. (Insert equation here) Explain the optimum conditions for this reaction and why these may differ from the conditions used in industry.

N 2 (g)+3H 2 (g) ⇋ 2NH 3 (g) ΔH=-92kJmol -1 (this is the equation for the above question) According to Le Chatelier's principle, the position of equilibrium will shift to minimise the change made to the cond...

Calculate the pH of a 0.0131 mol dm^-3 solution of calcium hydroxide at 10 degrees centigrade.

Multiply by 2 because calcium hydroxide = Ca(OH)2 so 2 x [OH-] per molecule.[OH-] = 0.0131 x 2 = 0.0262 Insert [OH-] value into the equilibrium equation along with the value of Kw at 10 degrees centigrade 2....
