Chapter 7, Problem 7.36(choose chapter or problem)
Suppose that an iron catalyst at a particular manufacturing plant produces ammonia in the most costeffective manner at 450C when the pressure is such that rG for the reaction 12 N2(g) + 32 H2(g)NH3(g) is equal to 500 J mol1. (a) What pressure is needed? (b) Now suppose that a new catalyst is developed that is most cost-effective at 400C when the pressure gives the same value of rG. What pressure is needed when the new catalyst is used? What are the advantages of the new catalyst? Assume that (i) all gases are perfect gases or that (ii) all gases are van der Waals gases. Isotherms of rG(T, p) in the pressure range 100 atm p 400 atm are needed to derive the answer. (c) Do the isotherms you plotted confirm Le Chateliers principle concerning the response of equilibrium changes in temperature and pressure?
