Haber process

- 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
