Question

State the purpose of liquefying the ammonia produced in the Haber’s process.

• A. To separate ammonia from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen.
• B. To separate hydrogen from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen.
• C. To separate nitrogen and hydrogen from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen.
• D. To separate nitrogen from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen.

Answer 1

The correct option is A To separate ammonia from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen.

Ammonia produced in the Haber’s process is liquefied to separate ammonia from uncombined nitrogen and hydrogen, as both hydrogen and nitrogen liquify at higher pressure and temperature. Thereby yielding only ammonia.
