The Haber Process

• The Haber Process is the production of Ammonia from Nitrogen and Hydrogen.

  
• The Haber Process is always done at a temperature of 450 degrees and pressure of 200 atm (atmospheres).

  
• In the Haber Process a Iron Catalyst is used.
• The Ammonia Produced in the Haber Process is used to make Nitrogen based fertilisers, helping grow food.

  
• In Order to make lots of Ammonia, You would need lots of Hydrogen - (Have to make from hydrocarbons) and Nitrogen - (easy to get as it is the most abundant gas).

  
• The Haber reaction is reversible, some ammonia form will break back down to form Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
• Ammonia has a low boiling point and is condensed into Ammonia Liquid to seperate from the Nitrogen and Hydrogen.
• The Haber reacton produces heat which is exothermic.
