      properties of ammonium hydroxide
  • In liquid or frozen ammonia, the molecules attract one another through sharing a hydrogen atom between one molecule and the next, called hydrogen bonding. In this attraction, called association, compounds apparently containing free electrons can be obtained by treating sodium/ammonia solutions with complexing agents.

  • The Haber-Bosch process was developed largely because of Germany's need for explosives in World War I. Ammonia gas is converted to nitric acid, which, in turn, is used in making sodium and potassium nitrate, major components of explosives. Fritz Haber believed that it was his patriotic duty to contribute to the German war effort in whatever way he could, which led to his development of a new method for making ammonia.

      an amide is an organic chemical with CN in it - you will learn more about them next year during our orgo unit

      A hydrogen bond is not a bond. It's in IMF. It's the strongest IMF.

      a higher temperature would help yield more product

      how can you tell whether it is an iron catalyst? or homo or hetero?

      Since it is iron, a solid and reactants are gasses, it is heterogeneous.
  • structure and mode of action are imperfectly understood

      very few processes can be "perfectly" understood. with a changing world, all factors are changing in parallel
  • High pressure conditions

      High pressure conditions would allow the equilibrium to shift in favor of ammonia, the side w/less moles, but it would not change Kc

      all subjects and fields are inter-related. agriculture's highest yields come from the production of corn, wheat, and soybeans and yet a chemical compound, ammonia can be traced back to it.

      is there controversy surrounding the uses of ammonia in fertilizers in order to increase the yield of crops? Are there negative effects?
  • Ostwald process

      from haber process, to Ostwald process, improvements and methods continue to be developed and knowledge continues to expand infinitely.

      is this related to Haber and Contact Processes?
