Ammonia is produced by the Haber process, in which nitrogen and hydrogen are reacted directly using an iron mesh impregnated wit

h oxides as a catalyst. For the following reaction, equilibrium constants (Kp values) are seen below as a function of temperature.
N2(g) + 3 H2(g) reverse reaction arrow 2 NH3(g)

300°C 4.34 multiplied by 10-3 atm-2
500°C 1.45 multiplied by 10-5 atm-2
600°C 2.25 multiplied by 10-6 atm-2

Answer:

Explanation:

The reaction of production of ammonia is as follows

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇄ 2NH₃

From the data given , it is clear that

equilibrium constant decreases as temperature increases . In other words

at higher temperature less and less of ammonia is produced .

According to Le Chatelier's Principle , reaction tends to go in the direction so that the effect of external change is minimized. Since the increase in temperature reduces the forward reaction , that means reaction is exothermic .

So , reduction in reaction , helps reduce the production of heat to reduce the effect of temperature increase.

Are the phosphate groups on the interior or the exterior of the DNA molecule?
Makovka662 [10]

the double helix is hydrogen bonded through the bases only so the bases are inside the helix only

as adenine combines with thymine and guanine with cytosine

phosphate are in the exterior of it

sugar groups constitute the double helix.
