Making Ammonia

Yield versus speed

An interactive lesson with 5 steps, about 5 minutes: you predict, drag and solve, with instant feedback on every answer. It runs in your browser and needs JavaScript.

What you’ll learn

• Haber process: compromise between yield (low T, high P) and speed (high T).
• Catalysts reach equilibrium faster; recycling raises overall yield.

Steps

1. Bread from air
2. Run the plant
3. The catalyst’s job
4. Recycling
5. Why not run it cold?
