How different conditions affect the yield of

ammonia
Use the data below to draw a graph with 4 lines on it. The axis you
should use are: x-axis: Pressure (atmospheres)
y-axis: Percentage yield of ammonia

Pressure Temperature (degrees Celsius)

(atmospheres) 200 300 400 500
0 0 0 0 0
100 82 52 25 10
200 89 67 40 19
300 93 74 50 26
400 95 79 55 31
Percentage yield of ammonia

Use your graph to answer the following questions:

1. Copy these sentences by using the correct words:
‘The higher the temperature the more/less the yield of
ammonia.’
‘The higher the pressure the more/less the yield of ammonia’
2. What are the temperature and pressure needed for the
optimum yield of ammonia?
3. In practice a pressure of 200 atmospheres is used. Why?
4. In practice a temperature of 450°C is used. Why?
5. Name the catalyst used in the Haber process. Explain the
effect of using a catalyst on the rate of reaction and yield
of ammonia.
