The Haber Process

• What is the Haber Process?

  A process used in the industrial production of ammonia
• What are the raw materials that react to produce ammonia gas?

  Nitrogen Gas from the Air

  Hydrogen Gas from Natural Gases
• What is the formula for the haber process?

  N2 + 3H2 ⇌ 2NH3
• What catalyst is used in the haber process?

  Iron
• What are the conditions for the haber process?

  High Temperature ( Around 450°C)

  High Pressure ( Around 200 Atmospheres)
• What are the stages of the haber process?

  The purified gases are passed over a catalyst of iron at a high temperature and pressure

  On cooling, the ammonia condenses to form a liquid
• What type of reaction takes place in the haber process?

  Reversible Reaction
