- Ammonia is made by combining hydrogen and nitrogen
- Hydrogen comes from natural gas
- Hitrogen comes from the air
- It is a reversible reaction and can reach position of equilibrium
- The equlibrium position is shifted to the right hand side (high yield of ammonia) by using a low temperature and a high pressure
- However, reaction slow at low temp. so a comprimise of 450 degrees used
- This is a comprimise between rate and yield
