The Haber process and the use of NPK fertilisers
Question
- A. To ensure complete reaction of all reactants
- B. To lower the cost of ammonia production
- C. To maintain a constant temperature
- D. To produce more nitrogen gas
Answer
The correct option is To lower the cost of ammonia production. This answer is correct because it matches the approved learning objective to explain why unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled. (Chemistry only) in the subtopic The Haber process.
Explanation
The correct option is To lower the cost of ammonia production. To lower the cost of ammonia production is correct because it directly supports the approved learning objective to explain why unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled. (Chemistry only). This belongs to the subtopic The Haber process within The Haber process and the use of NPK fertilisers, so the explanation must stay tied to that curriculum context. The other options are incorrect because they either do not answer this learning objective, use a vague statement, or move away from The Haber process.
Common mistake
Recycling in the Haber Process
Students often think that unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled to increase the amount of ammonia produced in the next cycle.
Explain that unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled primarily to improve the efficiency of the process and reduce waste, not just to increase ammonia yield.
