Compare and contrast the positive and negative effects that result from the use of the Haber process.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Luda [366]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: Positive effects: mass production of fertilizers, alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes, explosives

Negative effects: heath problems, negative effects on soil organisms and soil organic matter,  imbalances to the nitrogen cycle, high fossil fuel energy inputs, production of deadly weapons

Explanation:

The Haber process (also called Haber Bosch process) is used to produce ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen under the high pressure. Basically, it's an artificial nitrogen fixation process. This method has both positive and negative effects on modern society.

Positive sides: ammonia is mainly used for mass production of fertilizer, which allows more food for everyone. It can be used for production of alkaline cleansers, refrigerant gas, dyes and explosives. Ammonia is also used in production of synthetic polymers, due to its role in the manufacturing of cyanide.

Negative sides: ammonia is a toxic gas, it can irritate eyes and lungs. Because of that, the excess nitrogen in soil and water coming from synthetic fertilizers can cause health problems. It is harmful for humans and animals, but it can also be harmful for plants. Environmental factors are also important. Because of the mass fixation, there is imbalance in the earth’s nitrogen cycle. Also, fossil fuels are used as a source of power for machinery in Haber's process, which increases emissions into the atmosphere. And, at least ammonia is a major component of weapons including great number of bombs.

Realiza los cálculos para determinar la cantidad de KOH 90%, que se necesita para preparar 100 ml de solución 1N.
attashe74 [19]

Answer:

6.23 KOH 90% son necesarios

Explanation:

Una solución 1N de KOH requiere 1equivalente (En KOH, 1eq = 1mol) por cada litro de solución.

Para responder esta pregunta se requiere hallar los equivalentes = Moles de KOH para preparar 100mL = 0.100L de una solución 1N. Haciendo uso de la masa molar de KOH y del porcentaje de pureza del KOH se pueden calcular los gramos requeridos para preparar la solución así:

<em>Equivalentes KOH:</em>

0.100L * (1eq / L) = 0.100eq = 0.100moles

<em>Gramos KOH -Masa molar: 56.1056g/mol-:</em>

0.100moles * (56.1056g/mol) = 5.61 KOH se requieren

<em>KOH 90%:</em>

5.61g KOH * (100g KOH 90% / 90g KOH) =

Please help!! i need the answer ASAP!
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

23.34 %.

Explanation:

  • The percentage of water must be calculated as a mass percent.
  • We need to find the mass of water, and the total mass in one mole of the compound. For that we need to use the atomic masses of each element and take in consideration the number of atoms of each element in the formula unit.
  • <em>Atomic masses of the elements:</em>

Cd: 112.411 g/mol, N: 14.0067 g/mol, O: 15.999 g/mol, and H: 1.008 g/mol.

  • <em>Mass of the formula unit:</em>

Cd(NO₃)₂•4H₂O

mass of the formula unit = (At. mass of Cd) + 2(At. mass of N) + 10(At. mass of O) + 8(At. mass of H) = (112.411 g/mol) + 2(14.0067 g/mol) + 10(15.999 g/mol) + 8(1.008 g/mol) = 308.5 g/mol.

  • <em> Mass of water in the formula unit:</em>

<em>mass of water</em> = (4 × 2 × 1.008 g/mol) + (4 × 15.999 g/mol) = 72.0 g/mol.

  • <em>So, the percent of water in the compound = [mass of water / mass of the formula unit] × 100 = [(72.0 g/mol)/(308.5 g/mol)] × 100 = 23.34 %</em>

Which answer below correctly identifies the type of change and the explanation for the boiling of water?
Lynna [10]

physical change because even though gas formation was observed, the water was undergoing a  state change, which means that its original properties  are preserved

Explanation:

The boiling of water is a physical change because the original properties of the water is preserved.

  • A physical change is the one that alters the physical properties of matter.
  • This kind of change is easily reversible as the water can be cooled back.
  • No new kinds of matter is produced in this kind of change .
  • The molecules of the matter still retains their property after.

During the boiling of water, intermolecular bonds called hydrogen bonds between the water molecules are broken. This makes the individual molecules free.

When aluminum is placed in concentrated hydrochloric acid, hydrogen gas is produced. 2 Al ( s ) + 6 HCl ( aq ) ⟶ 2 AlCl 3 ( aq )
Dovator [93]

Answer:

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.

Explanation:

2Al (s) + 6 HCl (aq)\rightarrow 2 AlCl_3 (aq) + 3 H_2 (g)

Moles of aluminium =\frac{3.60 g}{27 g/mol}=0.1333 mol

According to reaction , 2 moles of aluminium gives 3 moles of hydrogen gas.

Then 0.1333 moles of aluminium will give:

\frac{3}{2}\times 0.1333 mol=0.2 moles of hydrogen gas

Volume of 0.2 moles of hydrogen gas at STP = V

Temperature at STP = T = 298.15 K

Pressure at STP = P = 1 atm

n = 0.2 mol

PV = nRT (Ideal gas equation)

V=\frac{nRT}{P}=\frac{0.2mol\times 0.0821 atm L/mol K\times 298.15 K}{1 atm}=4.8956 L\approx 4.90 L

The volume of hydrogen gas produced at STP is 4.90 liters.
