Easy
The operating temperature range for the Haber process is 350-500°C. It is used for the production of ammonia at
- 20 MPa using Fe catalyst in an exothermic reaction
- B0.1 MPa using Fe catalyst in an exothermic reaction
- C20 MPa using Fe catalyst in an endothermic reaction
- D20 MPa using zeolite catalyst in an endothermic reaction
Explanation
The Haber process (N2+3H2⇌2NH3) operates at high pressure (~20 MPa) with an iron catalyst; the reaction is exothermic.
