You can actually control production of products or consumption of reactants by changing the physical conditions like temperature and pressure. In industrial manufacturing of Ammonia, it is desirable to get as much product (ammonia) as possible, hence manufacturers continue the reaction to do so.

How do chemical manufacturers make the reaction continue to make ammonia once the reaction has reached equilibrium?

By Le Chetalier's principle - remove product. This encourages the reaction to produce more product to balance the equilibrium.


What is NH3 dissociation reaction?

Essentially ammonia reacts with the natural amount of acid within the water to dissolve, forming ammonium. Water will continue to dissociate to support the reaction since this is also an equilibrium.


What is the equilibrium reaction for aqueous ammonia?

Nh3 + h20 <-> nh4+ + oh-


In household ammonia are there the compounds of ammonia nitrate or ammonia sulfate?

Ammonia nitrate and ammonia sulfate are not proper IUPAC or common chemical names. Household ammonia consists of ammonia gas (NH3) dissolved in water. Once dissolved in water, part of the ammonia reacts with water to produce equilibrium concentrations of the positive ammonium ion, H4N+ and the negative hydroxide ion, OH-. The relevant equilibrium chemical reactions are: (Reaction#1, ammonia dissolution) NH3 (gas ) + bulk H2O = NH3 (aq) (Reaction#2, reaction with water) NH3(aq) + H2O = H4N+ + OH- (Reaction#3, water dissociation) H2O = H+ + OH- As usual, the equilibrium conditions for all three reactions must be met simultaneously.


How did ammonia produced?

N2 + 3H2 <--> 2NH3 Born-Haber process and an equilibrium reaction. So, pressure and temperature must be maintained to keep the reaction going in the products direction. Google Born-Haber reaction.


What acid creates the reaction of ammonia?

I think you mean, which acid on reaction creates ammonia. Consider the following reaction.NH(4)(+) + OH(-) NH(3) + H(2)O [In equilibrium]Here since NH(4)(+) is losing H+ ion, it is acting as an acid.


How does removing ammonia from the process affect equilibrium?

it depends if the ammonia OS on the reactants or the products side. The equilibrium will shift toward whatever side the ammonia has been removed from (or away from whatever has been added), to balance the concentration of ammonia.


What is the chemical reaction between ammonia and hydrogen?

They are not reacting. But there is a reaction between hcl and ammonia.


Is the reaction of ammonia exothermic or endothermic?

Previous answer: ExothermicEdit by a concerned member of the community: Reaction of ammonia with WHAT?


What is the Ostwald process?

it is reversible reaction means incomplete reactions that reactants react together and from products then products of the same reaction react together form reactants and so on until they reach an equilibrium state called chemical equilibrium


What is the chemical formula for household ammonia?

You could say ammonium hydroxide, but that is not quite correct in solution. NH3(aq) is sometimes used, but this is the equilibrium reaction. NH3 + H2O <<->> NH4(+) + OH(-)


Is ammonia acid?

Ammonia (NH3) is a weak base that is in equilibrium with ammonium (NH4+) in aqueous solution. pKa value of NH3=9.25.
