The equation N2(g) + 3H2 (g) ⇋ 2NH3 (g) represents:
- A
Contact process
- B
Haber process
- C
Solvay’s process
- D
Avogadro's Law
The reaction combines nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia (NH₃). This industrial method is specifically known as the Haber’s process. It is different from the Contact process (for H₂SO₄) and Solvay process (for Na₂CO₃).
This process is primarily used to produce sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄) from sulfur dioxide (SO₂). It does not involve nitrogen or hydrogen, making it unrelated to the reaction presented.
The correct name for the process represented by the equation is the Haber process, which synthesizes ammonia (NH₃) from nitrogen and hydrogen gases. However, this option is incorrectly labeled as a different process.
The Solvay process is used for producing sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) and does not involve the reaction of nitrogen and hydrogen to form ammonia. Therefore, it is not relevant to the equation given.
