The recycled nitrogen and hydrogen gas in Haber's process are pumped back to:
Correct answer: D. Reaction chamber
- A. Boiler
- B. Storage vessel
- C. Heat exchangers
- D. Reaction chamber
Explanation
In the Haber's process for the production of ammonia, the unreacted gases left at the end are pumped back to the reaction chamber in order to utilize most of the reactants, and to increase production upto 98%. Without recycling of the unreacted gases, the production is only about 15%.

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.
