22M.2.hl.TZ1.3c(iii)

Ammonia is produced by the Haber–Bosch process which involves the equilibrium:

N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)

The percentage of ammonia at equilibrium under various conditions is shown:

The standard free energy change, ΔG, for the Haber–Bosch process is –33.0 kJ at 298 K.

(c(iii))

Calculate the entropy change for the Haber–Bosch process, in J mol–1 K–1 at 298 K. Use your answer to (b)(i) and section 1 of the data booklet.

[2]

Markscheme

ΔG = «ΔHTΔS =» –93000 «J» – 298«K» × ΔS = –33000 ✔

ΔS = 〈〈-93000J --33000J298K〉〉 = –201 «J mol–1 K–1» ✔

 

Do not penalize failure to convert kJ to J in both (c)(ii) and (c)(iii).

Award [2] for correct final answer

Award [1 max] for (+) 201 «J mol–1 K–1».

Award [2] for –101 or –100.5 «J mol–1 K–1».

Examiners report

Very good performance; since the unit for S is J mol˗1 K˗1, ΔG and ΔH needed to be converted from kJ to J, but that was not done in some cases.
