The catalyst used in the Haber process for manufacturing ammonia is:

Answer: iron with promoters.

  • A platinum
  • B iron with promoters
  • C vanadium pentoxide
  • D finely divided nickel

Correct answer: B. iron with promoters

Explanation: The Haber process uses finely divided iron with molybdenum or K₂O/Al₂O₃ promoters.

Adsorption Isotherm: x/m vs PressureP (pressure)x/mlow P: x/m ∝ Phigh P: saturation plateauAt high pressure, all surface sites are occupied - the curve flattens (monolayer saturation)

A typical adsorption isotherm: x/m (mass adsorbed per gram of adsorbent) rises steeply at low pressure, then flattens into a saturation plateau as the adsorbent surface fills up.
