(d) Why does magnesium bromide have a much higher melting point than hydrogen bromide?

Magnesium bromide is ionic (1 mark) and a lot of energy is required to break the strong electrostatic forces between the ions. Hydrogen bromide forms simple covalent molecules (1 mark) with only weak forces between the molecules, so less energy is required to separate them .

.........

This means the reaction is reversible ........................................................ .(1 mark) b) Why is the manufacture of ammonia carried out at high pressure.

Increasing the pressure will increase the rate of collisions so will increase the rate of reaction. Also there are fewer molecules on the right hand side of the equation than on the right, increasing the pressure will force the equilibrium to the side with the least number of molecules, this will increase the yield.........................................................

.Note: this is difficult because it is asking you to apply knowledge from different bits of the

.course ‘rates’ and ‘equilibria’. This is oftent he case in questions about ammonia.

( 2 marks) c) Low temperatures favour a high yield in the Haber process.

Explain whether the process is carried out at high temperatures or low temperatures.

Use ideas about collisions between particles in your answer.

The yield may be high at low temperatures but the rate of reaction will very slow (1 mark this is because the gas particles will have less energy and there will be fewer successful collisions(1 mark) A higher temperature is used so that ammonia can be produced more quickly (1 mark)

Note: If the question asks you to use collision theory in your answer, use it!
