this is a process to produce ammonia.
nitrogen combines wth hydrogen to form ammonia.
source of nitrogen is air
source of hydrogen is from heating steam with methane over a catalyst (nickel)
the reaction conditions are as follows;
1)temperature;450 degrees celsius
2)pressure;200 atmospheric pressure
3)catalyst;iron
characterstics of the reaction;
1)the reaction is exothermic,ie.producesheat energy
2)the reaction is reversible
N2+3H2=2NH3
