Using Resources
The Haber process
- 3 things to know
- Paper 2
Overview
Ammonia manufacture for fertilisers, the raw materials nitrogen and hydrogen and their sources, the iron catalyst and what it does, the conditions of about 450°C and 200 atmospheres and why they are chosen, the word and symbol equations, and separating ammonia and recycling unreacted gases.

Questions from this subtopic
Each one with the model answer underneath.
- 1
Which compound is manufactured in the Haber process, and what is most of it used for?
Model answer
Ammonia, most of which is used to make nitrogen-based fertilisers.
- 2
Name the two raw materials for the Haber process.
Model answer
Nitrogen and hydrogen.
- 3
Where is the nitrogen used in the Haber process obtained from?
Model answer
From the air, which is about 80% nitrogen.
- 4
Where is the hydrogen used in the Haber process obtained from?
Model answer
From natural gas, which is mainly methane.
