In any engineering design problem, the first step is to understand the problem and identify one or more possible solutions. In this task, you’ll analyze the problems you face as the chemical engineer challenged with setting up the ammonia-making process. Recall the chemical equation for producing ammonia:

N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3 + energy

2.How can you change the chemical equilibrium to benefit the company? What benefits will be realized?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2NH3(g)(→ N2(g)(+(3H2(g)

Eventually, these two reactions occur at the same rate. When this happens,

the concentrations of nitrogen, hydrogen, and ammonia become constant, and the

system is said to be “at equilibrium”. Typically,

we represent chemical equilibrium
