  1. Question 1

    Which important industrial chemical is produced using the Haber process?

    • AAmmonia
    • BEthanol
    • CCalcium carbonate
    • DCopper sulfate
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The Haber process is used industrially to produce ammonia.

  2. Question 2

    Which equilibrium represents the formation of ammonia in the Haber process?

    • AN2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
    • BN2 + H2 ⇌ NH3
    • C2N2 + H2 ⇌ 2NH3
    • DNH3 ⇌ N2 + H2
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    The Haber process uses nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia according to N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3.

  3. Question 3

    Why is the Haber process considered a reversible equilibrium process?

    • AAmmonia can decompose back into nitrogen and hydrogen
    • BAmmonia cannot react again
    • CNitrogen is a liquid
    • DHydrogen is removed permanently
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    Ammonia can undergo the reverse reaction to regenerate nitrogen and hydrogen.

  4. Question 4

    What happens to ammonia formation when pressure is increased in the Haber process?

    • AIt decreases
    • BIt increases
    • CIt stops
    • DIt becomes impossible
    Show answer

    Answer: B

    Increasing pressure favors the side with fewer gas moles and therefore favors ammonia formation.

  5. Question 5

    Why does increased pressure favor ammonia formation?

    • AThe product side has fewer moles of gas
    • BThe reactant side has fewer moles of gas
    • CAmmonia is a solid
    • DHydrogen becomes a liquid
    Show answer

    Answer: A

    N2 and 3H2 give 4 moles of gas while 2NH3 gives 2 moles.
