Question

In the manufacture of NH3 in Haber′s continuous flow process involving the reaction
H2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) ᐃH = - 22.08 kcal. The favorable conditions are

Options

A.High pressure and low temperature due to low activation energy (Ea)
B.Low pressure and low temperature due to low Ea
C.High pressure and elevated optimum temperature due to high Ea
D.None of these

Solution

The reaction is exothermic and takes place with a decrease in number of molecules ofgaseous species. Obviously high pressure and low temperature are the favourable for theshift of equilibrium to products side. However, in continuous side. however in continuous side. However, in continuous flow process, optimum elevated flow prosess, optimum elevated temperature is required to have more NH3 due to high activation energy of the reaction.
