Answer all the questions in the spaces provided. Ammonia, NH3, is manufactured from nitrogen and hydrogen by the Haber process. PMT N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) H = 92 kJ mol1 (a) Some bond energies are given. NN = 944 kJ mol1 HH = 436 kJ mol1 (i) Explain the meaning of the term bond energy.[2] (ii) Use the data to calculate a value for the NH bond energy. You must show your working. NH bond energy =kJ mol1 [2] (b) The Haber process is usually carried out at a temperature of approximately 400 C in the presence of a catalyst. Changing the temperature affects both the rate of production of ammonia and the yield of ammonia. The Boltzmann distribution for a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen at 400 C is shown. Ea represents the activation energy for the reaction. proportion of molecules with a given energy Ea molecular energy (i) Using the same axes, sketch a second curve to indicate the Boltzmann distribution at a higher temperature.

Use Le Chateliers principle to explain your answer.[3] (c) At a pressure of 2.00107 Pa, 1.00 mol of nitrogen, N2(g), was mixed with 3.00 mol of hydrogen, H2(g). The final equilibrium mixture formed contained 0.300 mol of ammonia, NH3(g). (i) Calculate the amounts, in mol, of N2(g) and H2(g) in the equilibrium mixture.
