- produces ammonia (NH3)
-reversible reaction
-forward reaction is exothermic so higher yield at lower temperature , but at industrial level 450 degrees Celsius
-pressure must be high for higher yield , 200 atmospheric pressure
-N2 + 3H2 <---> 2NH3
-ammonia is liquefied and separated , unreacted nitrogen and hydrogen are recycled
-reaction vessel contains iron catalyst
