What is the primary product ofHaber-Bosch process?(a) Ammonia(b) Nitric acid(c) Nitrous acid(d) PyridineThis question was addressed to me in unit test.Origin of the question is P-Block in portion P-Block Elements of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

Correct option is (a) AMMONIA

Explanation: The primary product of Haber-Bosch PROCESS is ammonia, NH3. In this process, N2(g) and H2(g) are reacted at a high temperature of 700 K and 200 atm pressure in presence of iron-bed catalysts. It is an exothermic process which takes PLACE in accordance with Le Chatelier’s principle. Nitric acid is produced by Ostwald’s process. Nitrous acid is produced by reacting sodium nitrite with a mineral and pyridine by Chichibabin process.
