Which among the following is the popular method for manufacture of ammonia?
- AOstwald's process
- Correct answerBHaber-Bosch process
- CElectric furnace process
- DElectrolysis process
Solution
Ammonia is used as raw material for the production of various nitrogen compounds, including nitric acid, and a variety of fertilisers and polymers. Also, ammonia is used as refrigerant and neutraliser for NOx emission from fuel combustion.
The Haber-Bosch process takes nitrogen gas from the atmosphere and combines it to form ammonia gas with molecular hydrogen gas.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
