Explain in short: The Haber process.
✓
Answer
Haber process:
The Haber process is the process of synthesis of ammonia gas by reacting together hydrogen gas and nitrogen gas in a particular stoichiometric ratio by volumes and at selected optimum temperature and pressure.
The chemical reaction is: N2( g)+3H2( g)⇌ Catalyst 2NH3( g)+ Heat The reaction proceeds with a decrease in number of moles (Δn = -2) and the forward reaction is exothermic.
Iron (containing a small quantity of molybdenum) is used as catalyst.
The optimum temperature is about 773 K and the optimum pressure is about 250 atm.
