Lesson details

Lesson outcome

I can describe the Haber Process for the production of ammonia, explain the significance of equilibrium in this industrial process, and describe the conditions used.

Show transcript
In a reversible reaction the desired product needs to be continuously removed from the reaction. Natural gas is a feedstock for industrial production of ammonia. Hydrogen, one of the raw materials in ammonia production, is produced from natural gas and steam. In industry, the Haber process is typically performed at 150-300 atmospheres, 400-450°C, with an iron catalyst. Ammonia production is energy-intensive and releases large amounts of carbon dioxide, contributing to global emissions.
