The correct Answer is:
To determine the favorable conditions for the manufacture of ammonia (NH₃) by the Haber process, we need to analyze the given reaction and its thermodynamic properties. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Reaction**: The reaction for the synthesis of ammonia is: \[ N_2(g) + 3H_2(g) \rightleftharpoons 2NH_3(g) \] The enthalpy change (ΔH) for this reaction is -22.08 kcal, indicating that the reaction is exothermic (releases heat). 2. **Effect of Pressure**: According to Le Chatelier's Principle, if we increase the pressure of a system at equilibrium, the equilibrium will shift towards the side with fewer moles of gas to minimize the change. - On the left side (reactants), we have 1 mole of N₂ and 3 moles of H₂, totaling 4 moles. - On the right side (products), we have 2 moles of NH₃. - Since there are fewer moles of gas on the product side (2 moles), increasing the pressure will favor the formation of NH₃. 3. **Effect of Temperature**: Since the reaction is exothermic (ΔH is negative), increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium to favor the endothermic direction (the reverse reaction) to absorb the excess heat. - Therefore, to favor the production of NH₃, we should operate at a lower temperature. 4. **Conclusion**: The favorable conditions for the manufacture of ammonia by the Haber process are: - **High Pressure**: To shift the equilibrium towards the production of ammonia (fewer moles). - **Low Temperature**: To favor the exothermic reaction and increase the yield of ammonia. ### Final Answer: The favorable conditions for the manufacture of NH₃ by the Haber process are high pressure and low temperature. ---
