Third Participation
Participation #3: Chemical Reactions that Changed History
Student Name: Kailey Galvan
Course Name: chemistry A.1
Date: 9/10/2023
Chemistry of the Reaction:
Reactants: Nitrogen gas (N2) and hydrogen gas (H2).
Products: Ammonia (NH3).
Why I Chose It:
I chose the Haber-Bosch process because it revolutionized agriculture and food production. It allowed
the mass production of ammonia, which is a key component of fertilizers. This process had a profound
impact on global food production and addressing the issue of food shortages.
Why It's Important:
The Haber-Bosch process is of paramount importance because it played a crucial role in the Green
Revolution, which allowed for increased food production and helped feed the growing global
population. This process also has industrial applications beyond agriculture, such as in the production of
chemicals and explosives.
Type of Chemical Reaction:
The Haber-Bosch process is a synthesis reaction. It involves the combination of nitrogen and hydrogen
gases to form ammonia. In a synthesis reaction, two or more substances combine to form a single, more
complex product, which is precisely what happens in this case.
I will not be using the Flipgrid app I wrote a paper instead. On the Haber-Bosch
process that was developed and named after its German inventors Fritz Haber
and Carl Bosch. If there is anything else, I can do for extra credit. Please email me.
