1
New cards
Why does the Haber process use a temperature of 450
Reaction is **exothermic, so low temperature used** however rate is **too slow** so temperature is increased
2
New cards
Why does the Haber process use a pressure of 200
Higher yield but not too high a pressure because it would be **too expensive**
3
New cards
How are compounds of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium used
Used as fertilisers to improve agricultural productivity **(NPK fertilisers)**
4
New cards
How is industrial production of NPK fertilisers achieved
Ammonia used to manufacture ammonia salts
Ammonium sulfate phosphate and nitrate can be produced by reaction of ammonia w/ requisite acid
Ammonium sulfate phosphate and nitrate can be produced by reaction of ammonia w/ requisite acid
5
New cards
How is phosphate rock used with nitric acid
Reacted with nitric acid: phosphoric acid + calcium nitrate
6
New cards
How is phosphate rock used with phosphoric acid
Reacted with phosphoric acid: calcium phosphate
7
New cards
How is phosphate rock used with sulfuric acid
Reacted with sulfuric acid: mixture of calcium phosphate, calcium sulfate
