chemistry - haber process

• The Haber Process is used in the industrial production of ammonia
• Ammonia is a pungeny smelling alkaline gas with the chemical formula NH3
• Nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas react to produce ammonia. This is a reversible reaction
• The ammonia is collected by cooling the mixture so that ammonia condenses into a liquid
• Raising the temperature increases the reaction, making less ammonia
• a low temperature increases yield but the reaction is too slow
• A high pressure increases yield but the reaction is too expensive and can be dangerous
• A catalyst increases the rate of reaction, but foes not increase yield
• A compromise is reached
