the haber process, which is synthesising ammonia from its elements. this was to make a new fertiliser to help the world, since the demand of nitrogen based fertilisers exceeded the existing supply. also it helped create explosives used in mining and the chemical warfare.
He used Henri LeChatelier's failed attempt of production of ammonia to accelerate his research in the production of ammonia. LeChatelier figured out what he did wrong but Fritz Haber happened to reach success before LeChatelier and was given the Nobel prize in chemistry of 1918 even though LeChatelier's attempt helped him out. Fritz also played a major role in chemical warfare and was given funding by the Nazi's to continue his research on weapons. The Nazi's used Fritz's Zyklon gas in their gas chambers in the concentration camps to kill Jewish people.
Well, the most famous example is the Haber Process. Normally the equation is N+3H<->NH3. The problem is that it is exothermic, and the more ammonia you make the hotter it gets. If you stress the equation to the right by increasing pressure. Fritz Haber perfected this process although it took a while to get it right, as he basically had very hot and very pressurized cookers for making ammonia. This was great for helping feed the world but this actually happened in 1914 during WWI. Fritz Haber used it to make cheap gunpowder and explosives for Germany as they were under allied blockade. His wife hated him so much for that, that she killed herself. He also created the chlorine gas warfare. Nice guy.
Fritz Haber was a German chemist who is known for his work in synthesizing ammonia, which revolutionized agriculture. He was born in Breslau, Germany (now Wroclaw, Poland) in 1868 and later lived in Berlin, where he conducted much of his research.
The Haber-Bosch process was the first for the industrial production of ammonia.
The product in the Haber process is ammonia (NH3).
the haber process was invented by Fritz haber in 1908
Fritz Haber was born on December 9, 1868.

Fritz Haber was born in Brelau, Germany into a Hasidic family.
Fritz Haber died on January 29, 1934 at the age of 65.
Fritz Haber did not invent mustard gas. It was discovered by accident by a English gradute student working in a German laboratory, reported by the famous German chemist, Emil Fischer and developed by the German military. Haber played a role in its development.
Fritz Haber won The Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918.
Fritz Haber was born on December 9, 1868 and died on January 29, 1934. Fritz Haber would have been 65 years old at the time of death or 146 years old today.
fritz lived in Germany in 1968-1933 when he moved to Britain
he was bloody amazing ;)
