Hello, everyone: There is a question in the second volume of Physical Chemistry published by Nanjing University regarding the maximum one-way conversion rate for ammonia synthesis being 26% In the fifth edition of Physical Chemistry, Volume 2, published by Nanjing University, page 154 in Chapter 11: Fundamentals of Chemical Kinetics (II), it is stated as follows: “Under conditions of 30 Mpa and 773 K, the maximum possible conversion rate for ammonia synthesis, based on thermodynamic analysis, is 26%.” How is this 26% calculated? Are there any who are engaged in chemical reaction research? How should this question be answered? Thank you, experts, for your guidance!
Under these operating conditions, a reaction equilibrium should exist; check the literature. Check whether Gibbs is zero
Because within the reactor, the products cannot be removed, which means that the reaction at these temperature and pressure conditions has reached equilibrium.
