Haber–Bosch process - 2024 ARCADIA

Question

A key issue in this industrial process is its reliance on extreme conditions such as 250 atmospheres of pressure and a temperature of around 450 degrees Celsius. For 10 points each:

[10e] Name this doubly-eponymous industrial process that generates the vast majority of ammonia globally.

ANSWER: Haber–Bosch process [or Bosch–Haber process]

[10m] This reaction may provide a greener way to generate hydrogen for ammonia production compared to high-pressure steam methane reforming. This reaction requires a potential of 1.23 volts, and its reverse occurs in hydrogen fuel cells.

ANSWER: electrolysis of water [or water splitting; accept answers that indicate an electrochemical splitting of water; prompt on oxidation of water; prompt on answers that solely indicate water (or H2O) becoming hydrogen (or H2) and oxygen (or O2)]

[10h] The Schüth group has investigated the use of this field of chemistry in ammonia production by ball-milling its iron catalyst with cesium powder. Dioxetane groups are often used as force probes in this field of chemistry.

ANSWER: mechanochemistry [accept polymer mechanochemistry]
