In the important industrial process for producing ammonia (the Haber Process), the overall reaction is:
N2(g) + 3H2(g) → 2NH3(g) + 100.4 kJ
A yield of NH3 of approximately 98% can be obtained at 200°C and 1,000 atmospheres of pressure. What is the ΔH in kJ of heat released per mole of NH3(g) formed?
Since the coefficient of NH3 is 2, 100.4 kJ of heat is released when 2 moles of NH3 are formed. So, when one mole of NH3 is formed, half of the heat would be produced or 50.2 kJ.
