Haber Process

The Haber Process is a method used to synthesize ammonia (NH₃) by combining nitrogen gas (N₂) from the air with hydrogen gas (H₂), typically derived from natural gas. This reaction occurs under high pressure (around 200 atmospheres) and high temperature (about 450°C), with an iron catalyst to speed it up. The produced ammonia is essential for making fertilizers, supporting global agriculture. The process efficiently transforms atmospheric gases into a vital chemical, helping meet the food demands of the world's population.
