The symbol equation for this reaction is: N 2 + 3H 2 <span style="font-size: 11pt; color: #d91212; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode', 'Lucida Grande', sans-serif;">⇌ 2NH 3   <span style="font-size: 10pt; color: black; font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> The reaction is exothermic and the yield of amonia depends on the atmospheric pressures and temperature. For the best yield it should be 200C and 400 X atmospheric pressure. Although many industries may not use this because it costs too much. Did you know? The Haber process is really called the Haber-Bosch process, since Fritz Haber found out how to make amonia from nitrogen and Hydrogen but Carl Bosch carried out the work to find the best conditions for the reaction. Bosch carried out 6,500 experiments to find the best catalyst for the reaction. media type="custom" key="3596440" width="232" height="222"
