What does the graph show about the effect of pressure and temperature on the Haber process?

10-4

  • Less ammonia is produced at higher pressures

  • The yield of ammonia decreases with increased temperature

  • The optimum conditions are low pressure and high temperature

  • At 500 atmospheres and 400 oC the yield of ammonia is 45%
