Chapter 22, Problem 22.15(choose chapter or problem)
Nitrogen fixation requires a great deal of energy because the N2 bond is strong. (a) How do the processes of atmospheric and industrial fixation reflect this energy requirement? (b) How do the thermodynamics of the two processes differ? (Hint: Examine the respective heats of formation.) (c) In view of the mild conditions for biological fixation, what must be the source of the great deal of energy? (d) What would be the most obvious environmental result of a low activation energy for N2 fixation?
