Ammonia, NH3, is manufactured from nitrogen and hydrogen by the Haber process. N2+ 3H22NH3ΔH = –92 kJ mol–1 Some bond energies are given. N≡N = 944 kJ mol–1 H–H = 436 kJ mol–1 Explain the meaning of the term bond energy. Use the data to calculate a value for the N–H bond energy. You must show your working. N–H bond energy = kJ mol–1 The Haber process is usually carried out at a temperature of approximately 400 °C in the presence of a catalyst. Changing the temperature affects both the rate of production of ammonia and the yield of ammonia. The Boltzmann distribution for a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen at 400 °C is shown. Ea represents the activation energy for the reaction. proportion of molecules with a given energy molecular energy Ea Using the same axes, sketch a second curve to indicate the Boltzmann distribution at a higher temperature.
