Ammonia is a vital chemical intermediate primarily used in the manufacture of agricultural fertilisers.
In this industrial process, nitrogen and hydrogen are reacted reversibly at high temperature and pressure in the presence of an iron catalyst.
N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g) \text{N}_2(\text{g}) + 3\text{H}_2(\text{g}) \rightleftharpoons 2\text{NH}_3(\text{g}) N2(g)+3H2(g)⇌2NH3(g)State the name of this industrial process used in the manufacture of ammonia.
