Question

What is the role of the solid-state catalyst in the Haber process?A) It increases the amount of ammonia produced per unit time. B ) It increases the total amount of ammonia produced.C ) It decreases the amount of ammonia that decomposes per unit time.D) It decreases the total amount of ammonia produced.

Answer 1

Option A - It increases the amount of ammonia produced per unit time

Step-by-step explanation:

Haber process is used to mixed nitrogen with hydrogen derived from methane to obtained ammonia. This conversion is reversible and given as

N_2 + 3H_2 ⇄ 2NH_3

the catalyst used in this process is potassium hydroxide which the main function is to increase the efficiency of the reaction. catalyst main function is to speedup the reaction.
