WH2.12C The Chemical Process That Feeds the World VIDEO

What is the chemical formula for ammonia, a key component of fertilizer produced by the Haber Process?

• N2(g)

• H2(g)

• NH3(g)

• NO3-

Approximately how many people would be without food if the Haber Process did not exist, given the current global population of 7 billion?

• 1 billion

• 2 billion

• 3 billion

• 4 billion

Why are crops unable to directly absorb nitrogen from the air?

• Atmospheric nitrogen is too scarce.

• Nitrogen in the air contains strong triple bonds that crops cannot break.

• Nitrogen in the air is in a gaseous state, which plants cannot utilize.

• Crops require nitrogen in the form of ammonia, not elemental nitrogen.

Which chemist developed the method to convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, a process crucial for modern agriculture?

• Henry Le Chatelier

• Fritz Haber

• Marie Curie

• Dmitri Mendeleev
