what are the equation of haber process
Answers
Making ammonia
In the Haber process: nitrogen (extracted from the air) and hydrogen (obtained from natural gas ) are pumped through pipes. the pressure of the mixture of gases is increased to 200 atmospheres. the pressurised gases are heated to 450°C and passed through a tank containing an iron catalyst

■The process combines nitrogen from the air with hydrogen derived mainly from natural gas (methane) into ammonia. The reaction is reversible and the production of ammonia is exothermic. with ΔH=−92.4kJ/mol. The catalyst: The catalyst is actually slightly more complicated than pure iron.■
