The label gives information about one type of fertiliser.

(a) This fertiliser is an NK fertiliser. Use the Data Sheet to help you to suggest which
elements all NK fertilisers contain.

(c) Ammonium nitrate and potassium chloride are both salts. They can be made by
neutralisation reactions.

Choose substances from the box to complete the word equations for the formation of
these two salts.

ammonia hydrochloric acid nitric acid

potassium nitrate water potassium hydroxide

ammonia +......................... ammonium nitrate + water

....................................+ hydrochloric acid potassium chloride

. The diagram below shows a wire fence. The fence is held up by steel posts. The posts were
painted each year. The fence was blown down by strong winds. The steel posts had rusted
badly at ground level.

The Haber process is used to make ammonia NH3.
The table shows the percentage yield of ammonia at different temperatures and pressures.

(a) (i) Use the data in the table to draw two graphs on the grid below. Draw one graph for a
temperature of 350°C and the second graph for a temperature of 500°C.
Label each graph with its temperature.

(4)

(ii) Use your graphs to find the conditions needed to give a yield of 30% ammonia.

................................ °C and .............................. atmospheres

(1)

(iii) On the grid sketch the graph you would expect for a temperature of 450°C.
(1)

(b) (i) This equation represents the reaction in which ammonia is formed.

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) + heat

What does the symbol in this equation tell you about the reaction?

........................................................................................................................... (1)

(ii) Use your graphs and your knowledge of the Haber process to explain why a
temperature of 450°C and a pressure of 200 atmospheres are used in industry.
