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.

If 0.092J of heat causes a 0.267 degree C temperature change, what mass of water is present?
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

0.082g

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Heat (Q) = 0.092J

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 0.267°C

Specific heat capacity (C) of water = 4.184J/g°C

Mass (M) =..?

Thus, the mass of present can be obtained as follow:

Q = MCΔT

0.092 = M x 4.184 x 0.267

Divide both side by 4.184 x 0.267

M = 0.092 / (4.184 x 0.267)

M = 0.082g

Therefore, mass of water was present is 0.082.

Calculate the ph of a solution formed by mixing 200.0 ml of 0.30 m hclo with 300.0 ml of 0.20 m kclo. the ka for hclo is 2.9 × 1
velikii [3]
C(HClO) = 0,3 M.
<span>V(HClO) = 200 mL = 0,2 L.
n(HClO) = </span>c(HClO) · V(HClO).
n(HClO) = 0,06 mol.<span>
c(KClO</span>) = 0,2 M.
<span>V(KClO) = 0,3 L.
n(KClO) = 0,06 mol.
V(buffer solution) = 0,2 L + 0,3 L = 0,5 L.
ck</span>(HClO) = 0,06 mol ÷ 0,5 L = 0,12 M.
cs(KClO) = 0,06 mol ÷ 0,5 L = 0,12 M.<span>
Ka(HClO</span>) = 2,9·10⁻⁸.<span>
This is buffer solution, so use Henderson–Hasselbalch equation: 
pH = pKa + log(cs</span> ÷ ck).<span>
pH = -log(</span>2,9·10⁻⁸) + log(0,12 M ÷ 0,12 M).<span>
pH = 7,54 + 0.
pH = 7,54</span>

Which of these describes a Mole in Chemistry?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer: Thus the correct option is  D. All of the above describe a mole

Explanation:

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to molecular mass in grams.

1 mole of every substance contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

Mole is the S.I unit for measuring the amount of substance. It is often used to measure large number of particles.

Thus the correct option is  D. All of the above describe a mole
