The Haber process is a method of making ammonia from Hydrogen and Nitrogen
N2 (g) + 3 H2 (g) 2 NH3 (g)
An increase in pressure will disturb the system from equilibrium and the system will attempt to recover from this by counteracting the increase in pressure.
To counteract the increase in pressure the system will favour the process that gives the least number of molecules (thus lowering pressure).
as we can see above we have 4 moles of reactants for 2 moles of products in the equation. This means that an increase in pressure will cause an increase in the yield of ammonia.
This reaction is also exothermic, so it would be correct to assume from a purely theoretical viewpoint that low temperature and high pressure would be best for this reaction. However the catalyst that is used in this reaction needs a temperature of around 450 degrees celsius to work, which is why this reaction is carried out at high temperature.

How will a change in pressure and concentration affect the yield of ammonia made?
Per the Haber process, increasing the pressure moves the equilibrium position to the right, increasing the yield.
How do you generate enough pressure to make ammonia?
We make ammonia by haber process. There must be a high pressure.
How is ammonia liquified?
Ammonia is made by haber process. We can turn it to liquid by high pressure and low temperature.
In which year was the Haber process invented by Fritz Haber?
the haber process was invented by Fritz haber in 1908
What is the best conditions for the haber process?
for maximum yield- low temperatures and high pressure, for maximum rate - high temperatures, high pressure and a catalyst.
How will a change in pressure and concentration affect the yield of ammonia made?
Per the Haber process, increasing the pressure moves the equilibrium position to the right, increasing the yield.
Factors that affect the rate of reaction in the haber process?
I have no idea what this is so i will just say woo haber process

How did ammonia produced?
N2 + 3H2 <--> 2NH3 Born-Haber process and an equilibrium reaction. So, pressure and temperature must be maintained to keep the reaction going in the products direction. Google Born-Haber reaction.
Why is the haber process not run at a high pressure?
because in this process a mixture of nitrogen and hydrogen is heated at 400 to 450c
Who discovered the Haber process?
Fritz Haber
Who invented haber process?
Fritz Haber
What is the birth name of Christopher Haber?
Christopher Haber's birth name is Christopher Carl Haber.
What is the birth name of Frank Haber?
Frank Haber's birth name is Franklin R. Haber.
