The classic way to synthesize ammonia is through the gas phase chemical reaction:

Transcribed Image Text:

N, + 3H,→2NH, This reaction is carried out at high pressures, most often using an iron catalyst. A. Use Equation 2.32 and C, from Appendix D to determine the change in molar enthalpy when nitrogen is compressed from T = 300 K and P = 1 bar to T = 700 K and P = 200 bar. B. Repeat part A for hydrogen. C. What assumptions or approximations were made in step B? Comment on how valid you think the approximations are.
