In the Haber process for manufacturing of ammonia, Nitrogen is taken from:
Correct answer: C. Air
- A. Proteins occurring in living bodies
- B. Ammonium salts obtained industrially
- C. Air
- D. Minerals containing nitrates
Explanation
In the Haber process, Nitrogen is obtained from the air, which contains about 78% nitrogen gas. The air is compressed and then passed through a catalyst bed along with hydrogen gas at a high temperature and pressure. The nitrogen gas reacts with hydrogen gas in the presence of an iron catalyst to form ammonia gas. Haber process is an important industrial process for the production of ammonia, which is a key component in the manufacture of fertilizers, explosives, and other chemical compounds.

About Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible reactions reach dynamic equilibrium when forward and reverse rates become equal, and Le Chatelier's principle predicts the effect of changing concentration, pressure or temperature. The chapter also covers solubility product, the common ion effect, buffer action and the conditions used in Haber's process, with equilibrium shifts distinguished from changes in the equilibrium constant.
