Question

If nitrogen and hydrogen combine in a combustion reaction, what would the product of the reaction be? CH4 + 2O2 → 2 + 2H2O

Answer 1

Answer is: N₂ + 3H₂ → 2NH₃.

NH₃ is ammonia.

The Haber process is procedure for the production of ammonia, in this process atmospheric nitrogen (N₂) is converted to ammonia (NH₃):

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃ ΔrH = -92 kJ/mol.

In one molecule of the ammonia, there are three hydrogen atoms and one nitrogen atom.

Ammonia (NH₃) shows basic character in aqueous solution:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻.

Answer 2

Fill in the Blank with CO

CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 +2H2O
