Correct answer: A
-
Reaction in Haber’s process
Haber’s process is:
-
Thermodynamic changes involved
For this reaction:
- It is exothermic, so
- The number of gaseous moles decreases from to , so disorder decreases. Hence,
-
Use Gibbs free energy relation
Since both and are negative, let
Then,
So varies linearly with temperature with:
- positive slope
- negative intercept
Thus, as temperature increases, increases.
-
Interpretation for Haber’s process
At low temperature, is more negative, so formation of ammonia is more thermodynamically favorable.
Therefore the correct graph should show:
- approximately constant and negative
- approximately constant and negative
- increasing linearly with
-
Matching with options
The option that represents this behavior is Option A.
