5. Can you answer this question? Sulphuric acid is made when oleum is added to water in a highly
exothermic reaction. Describe how oleum is made from sulfur via the contact process. Give
equations and conditions. [6 marks]
Answer
6. Can you answer this questions? Plant growth is improved by the availability of essential elements,
such as nitrogen, and by the soil having a suitable pH. Nitrogen based fertilisers are made from
ammonia. Ammonia is manufactured by the Haber Process – describe the Haber process giving
reaction conditions and a balanced equation (do not discuss reaction rate and yield [5 marks]
