Question
In Haber's process, hydrogen is obtained by reacting methane with steam in presence of NiO as catalyst. The process is known as steam reforming. Why is it necessary to remove CO when ammonia is obtained by Haber’s process?
Solution
Answer:
Presence of CO in the synthesis of ammonia by Haber’s process adversely affects the activity of iron catalyst.
