The Haber process is used to make ammonia, NH3.
N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
The reaction reaches a dynamic equilibrium.
i) What happens to the rate of the forward and backward reactions at dynamic equilibrium?

Calcium sulfate is another salt. A student made some calcium sulfate. Look at the method he used:
pour 100 cm3 of calcium nitrate solution into a beaker
add drops of sodium sulfate solution until a precipitate appears
allow the precipitate to settle to the bottom of the beaker
pour off the liquid
use a spatula to transfer the solid calcium sulfate onto a piece of filter paper.
Describe and explain two ways that the student could improve his method to increase the amount of pure, dry calcium sulfate made.
