∙ 9y agoThe use of catalyst can increase the reaction rate so a greater product amount can be produced in given time. Catalysts can also be reused and they lower energy costs as the reaction can occur at a lower temperature.
The most common catalyst for the Haber process is iron doped wit oxides of Al, Si, Ca or K.
It would be too dangerous (as well as too energy inefficient) to do the reaction without one.
Step 1: N2 + H2 -> N2H2
The Diazene you produce in this step is very unstable and dissociates almost immediately.
Step 2: N2H2 + H2 -> N2H4
The Hydrazine you produce in this step is dangerous in every way a chemical can be.
Step 3: N2H4 + H2 -> 2NH3
To prevent this, they use an iron catalyst. Heat it to 500 degrees C, mix nitrogen and hydrogen, pump it up to 200 atmospheres, and blow the gas across the catalyst and ammonia is safely formed...better, since the reaction is exothermic it'll generate enough heat to keep the reaction going once it's started.

Why are catalyst important in industry?
Catalysts increase the reaction speed without being used or changed in the process. This means they can be reused at no extra cost. Some catalysts are necessary in order for some reactions to produce a sufficient amount of a product, such as ammonia in the Haber process. However, it does not shift the equilibrium rate.
What is the catalyst used in haber?
its an iron catalyst (iron oxide)
In the Haber process nitrogen and hydrogen are used to manufacture which gas?
Ammonia.
Is a magnesium metal a catalyst?
Iron is one of the magnetic metal. It is used as a catalyst in Haber process to produce ammonia N2 + 3H2 ----------- 2NH3
Which process is iron used as catalyst?
The Haber process (making amonia using nitrogen and hydrogen).
What is the temperature used in the haber process?
The temperature used for the haber process is indeed 450 degrees Celsius.
Why does the iron catalyst in the haber process have such a long lifetime?
Catalysts aren't used up in their reaction, they just speed it up, so you can use it hundreds of times without replacing it.

16 of ammonia were produced by the haber process how many liters of hydrogen were used during the reaction?
24
What process is used to produce ammonia?
Haber process industrially.
Why would the war have finished earlier if Germans had not invented the haber process?
The haber process was used to invent mustard gas.
Was the Haber process used for good or evil?
You tell me
Are fertilizers and the Haber process related to each other?
Yes. The Haber process is used to create ammonia, which is most commonly used as fertilizer or as a chemical precursor to fertilizer.
What are the substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction called?
A catalyst can speed up a chemical reaction. Another possible answer in the Biological sense is that Enzymes speed up chemical reactions, but these enzymes are catalysts of the chemical reactions.Different catalysts catalyse different reactions. For example iron is used as a catalyst in the Haber process (manufacture of ammonia).
How is the haber process used today in the agricultural industry?
it is used because it is :)
