Equilibrium and rate in the Haber process

Using resources • The Haber process and fertilisers

Key concepts

What you'll likely be quizzed about

  • In the Haber process, nitrogen gas (N₂) reacts with hydrogen gas (H₂) to form ammonia (NH₃).
  • The reaction can be summarized as N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇌ 2NH₃(g).
  • This equation represents a reversible reaction where the products can revert back to reactants under certain conditions.
  • Chemical equilibrium occurs when the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products over time, although the reactions continue.

What are the reactants in the Haber process?

Click to reveal answer

The Haber process uses nitrogen gas (N₂) and hydrogen gas (H₂) as reactants.

Key notes

Important points to keep in mind

Increasing pressure favors product formation.

Lower temperature boosts ammonia yield but slows the rate.

Higher concentration drives the reaction towards products.
