Explain, as fully as you can, using the graph and your knowledge of the Haber process
why 450 °C and 200 atmospheres were chosen as conditions for this process.

Ammonia is manufactured by the Haber Process, where nitrogen and hydrogen react
together as follows:
N
+
3H
2NH
2

3
The reaction is reversible. A balance is eventually reached when ammonia is being formed at
the same rate at which it is decomposing.
This point is called ‘equilibrium’.
