How is Le Chatelier's Principle used in the Haber process?

Answer 1

Well, see this old answer....

We address the equilibrium....

#3/2H_2(g) + 1/2N_2(g) rightleftharpoonsNH_3(g)+Delta#

Both rate and Le Chatelier's principle are addressed in the conditions for this reaction. This reaction is undoubtedly the most important inorganic chemical reaction that is performed. Why so?

Le Chatelier's Principle is used in the Haber process to maximize the production of ammonia by manipulating the reaction conditions. By increasing the pressure and decreasing the temperature, the equilibrium is shifted towards the formation of ammonia, increasing the yield.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
