Please help me with my Chemistry!!!?

Question

If any one could answer any of these questions it would be of great help!
What is the role of equilibrium in the production of ammonium?
What are the factors required for the economical commercial production of ammonium?
What impacts would a chemical plant using the haber process have on the surrounding environment and how could this be controlled?
Thanks for your help =)

Thanks for the answer before. Hmmm well on my chemistry sheet it does say ammonium not ammonia so I'm not too sure about that. I have pretty much answered the first question about the Haber Process so I don't need explainations about LC principle and how its a reversable reaction with a catalyst (which is Fe).... I am a bit stumped with the factors required, and the imoact a plant would have on the surrounding environment.
Thanks again =)

Answer 1

Emily, you need to do some homework.

First of all, it is ammonia, not ammonium.

The Haber process is a famous manufacturing process for ammonia. You can google it.

The reaction is as follows:

3H2 + N2 == 2NH3

It is a reversible reaction, so equilibrium and Le Chateleir's Principle play a key role. Read up on this in your text book.

They are all gases, so figure out what kind of pressure, high or low, favors the forward reaction? Same with temperature. By the way, a catalyst is used as well
