а a The Haber process, also called the Haber-Bosch process, is an artificial nitrogen fixation process and is the main industrial procedure for the production of ammonia and fertilizer today. It is named after its inventors, the German chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch, who developed it in the first decade of the 20th century. The process converts atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia by a reaction with hydrogen gas using a metal catalyst under high temperatures and pressures. The Haber process uses a metal catalyst under high temperatures and pressures to reacts atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen gas to produce hydrogen nitride also known as ammonia gas. Atmospheric nitrogen is a colorless and odorless gas. Atmospheric nitrogen melting point is - 210°C, while its boiling point is -196°C. Atmospheric nitrogen is slightly soluble in water and alcohol, has a molar mass of 28.014 grams per mole, and a density of 1.2506 x 10 grams per cubic centimeter. Hydrogen gas is the lightest diatomic molecule. It is colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, and highly combustible. Hydrogen gas is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter. Hydrogen gas melting point is -259.16°C, while its boiling point is -252.879°C with a density of 8.988 x 10 grams per liter, and has a molar mass of 2.016 grams per mole. Hydrogen nitride, also known as ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. A stable binary hydride, and the simplest pnictogen hydride, ammonia is a colorless gas with a distinct pungent smell. Biologically, it is a common nitrogenous waste, particularly among aquatic organisms, and it contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to 45% of the world's food. Ammonia gas has a molar mass of 17.031 grams per mole, density of 0.86 kilograms per cubic meter, melting point of-77.3°C, boiling point of -33.34°C, and is soluble in water. Please use the above paragraphs to answer the following questions: 1. Write a balanced chemical equation for the Haber process that uses a metal catalyst under high temperature and pressure to react atmospheric nitrogen with hydrogen gas to produce ammonia gas. 2. What is the molar ratio of question #1 balance equation?
